RE: MY LOSS!!!!!!

Did the smaller one get picked on by the other two larger ones?,...also are you using a good 'UV' globe?, are they getting a varied diet?, + greens etc....."
May have been picked on during the day but unsure as I am at work. The 3 dragons were all bought from the same person and all hatched on the same day but one has grown to 36cm + since Sept 04 and the other are smaller. They were even smaller when I bought them which was last November. When I say that out of the 2 smaller ones, one of them was bigger, it was only by body size, not length, and not much difference at all. I came home from wk yesterday and found one not eating and one limping. The one not eating is the one that is deceased. I use the OZ-Brite Heat/UV Globes run on a timer and a heat mat for the night time on a probe thermostat. ALso, they were getting plenty of greens, beardie food and also woodies and crickets.

Is there any visible injury to go with the limp?
Have you been using the food supplements?
No visible injury noticed and maybe not enough food supplements?? I don't know what to say. My other 2 seem fine (bar the limp which may have been the result of a fight (I hope)
