    I would separate them and I would boil and clean everything. You can't see what could be in the tanks. Better to be safe then sorry. I would doing daily soaks in warm water, each. So if they do poop you can see who's is who. Doing everything separate. Good luck.

    Will do so. What advice with regards to whether their skinny or not? Are they in safe levels?

    They seem ok as for weight for now. I would keep a daily journal on them and write down poop, food days things like that.

    Update.

    GULP: SVL 7cm, 20g
    SLURP: SVL 5.5cm, 20g.

    That doesn't sound too great.

    Should I continue feeding them with lobster roaches, opt for a force fed slurry, or wait until they have pooped?

    Anything with regards to laxatives? I've heard anything from olive oil, fish oil, castor oil, mineral oil. Which should I be using?

    Great update. Spotted a well sized set of faeces in the waterbowl yesterday, accompanied by a bunch of insect parts. Hopefully with more warming and more honey, I can evade the use of olive oil. I am not sure who these faeces belong to, though, the suspicion is Gulp, as he looks slightly thinner at the base of the abdomen currently.


    Here is it.
