Default new leopard gecko owner, needs some advice

My fiance and I just bought two leopard geckos about three days ago, we set up everything how it should be and researched a lot on them before we actually got them. we set everything up, and corrected the temperatures a few days before we actually got them, hoping it would make things run smoother for them and they wouldnt be as stressed. Both geckos are babies and too young to be sexed. my fiance's gecko, little foot, was doing great. both were curiously walking around and seemed to get fit right at home. However, now little foot seems to have become very sluggish and sleeps all of the time. he never wants to come out of his hideout, and will rarely eat.
We were worried because we werent sure if this was because little foot is still getting used to his new home, or if he was ill?

also, since we fell inlove with these little guys we went out and purchased another one today, and this one seems to be a little one the crazy side.
she is constantly jumping and basically runs around like a nutcase!

any tips would also be greatly appreciated!
thanks!

Hello Welcome to GU!

So you allowed their cute faces to trick you in buying too many to start with. To begin I have more questions than tips for now. It will be best that they are housed seperately even after quarantine until sex can be confirmed. Did you apply quarantine precautions? How are they being housed? Size of enclosures? heating sources? temperatures?
