Now I feel bad

Ok so I put my baby Leopard Geckos in another enclouser. well I checked on then and they lost both their tails just stubs now. So I put them back in the sterlite I had them in. One keeps wanting to get out or climb the sides.
I was going to seperate them both, they seem to both be fine and not attacking each ohter. Should I still go ahead and seperate them? I aslo am putting neosporing on their tails to help with a fast heal.

I just feel really bad that they lost their tails

poor little ones Anytips on this too will help

Hello,

Leopard Geckos don't drop their tails for no reason. Those Leopard Geckos got in a fight I am guessing. Yes, you should seperate them.

Leopard Geckos are designed to drop their tails. It will heal fine. (The neosporin doesn't hurt! lol)

Unfortunately when they drop their tails they loose their fat reserve besure to feed them well to ensure they grow back their reserve of fat.
