Brand new to bearded dragons

I work as a care technician for my schools reptiles and amphibians, I have very little experience. We just got 2 juvenile beardies m and f, being housed together. The female isn’t gaining weight. I’m male is doing great. I tried feeding them separately and saw that she won’t catch crickets unless I use forceps and hold it directly in front of her for a minute or so. Suggestions?? I’m concerned

The people who owned this cutie had to move out of the country and they asked if I could take him in. I couldn't say no.

I know nothing about dragons but I have done some research and trying to study about them. He's been in my house for 6 days. I haven't handled him yet because I read that they need time to adapt. He's eaten roaches and has had water but really just does it sparingly. I know it'll take time for him to get used to his new surroundings. I'd love some tips on how to make him most comfortable. Thanks!

It’s after Halloween but I think he’d kill me if I took the figurine out so it’s just going to stay there LOL. He loves it so much it’s so cute.

He pooped on his wood should I wash it with soap and water (don’t mind the sand in the water he was digging right before the pic was taken)

my 4 y/o beardie has a weird connection to stuffed animal?

I got him this stuffed animal a year ago when I got him, as of late he's been laying on it every single day. some days he just never moves and lays on it. for the past 3 days he's been laying on it, yesterday I finally got him to let go of it and eat cause he's been gripping tightly to it and puffing up when I try to get him off it to eat. I'm stumped. is this just some weird bond/connection? is it something more? what can I do? im worried if i take it away he'd be depressed. should I remove it anyways? tia!

can berries go between houses on a weekly basis

hello everyone.. so i’m 18 and i still go between my parents homes because they are divorced, im a senior in highschool.. at my dads we have a beardie who’s about a year old and we just got a dog and now my stepmom and dad want to get rid of him because my younger sister doesn’t pay any attention to him anymore, and it makes me sad because i love him a lot; and i want to see if i can just take him and have him be mine, but i want to see if i would be able to take him back and forth every sunday and make sure that he isn’t too stressed out so i can take care of him, just because i have a grown and attachment and this is one of the options i have with trying to keep him from going somewhere else, and i just need advice, thank you

Beardie poop

Ok so my beardie has been hiding in her cave a lot and sleeping, she comes out to eat whenever I feed her and this is the first time she’s pooped in days. This does NOT look normal to me but I’m a first time owner and I’ve never seen this before. Pls lmk if I need to take her to the vet cause I’m confused 😭

Help Please

I got my baby beardie yesterday and was wondering if it's normal for them to refuse food until they're comfortable. I put a few mealworms and crickets in but he just kinda...made friends with em I guess? 😭
