these should only be kept on their own so two together is asking for trouble. its quite possible its getting attacked by the other one as they show aggression and dominence.seperate them and keep an eye on the bullied one for proggress if things get worse take it to a proper exotic vets.

If the shop sold 2 together - make sure they are aware of the issues you are having. Take on back if needs be to keep the other one healthy.
