Phelsuma Grandis 1.2>Feeding issues

Hey guys! So I picked up another female Phelsuma Grandi over a week ago. There's no fighting at all between the 3 Phelsuma's and everything seems to be going smooth so far. I am planning to separate them next week but my question is, how do I know all 3 are getting fed properly? I put 2 bottle caps with food in it and it seems like the male is hogging the food. I see the bigger female eating this morning but I'm a little concern about the new female I bought. She was skinny when I got her but looked very healthy. I don't see her eating though but then I'm mostly at work. Thanks in advance.

I never see my grandis eat, but it's still alive! Maybe it's just shy? If you're worried, not sure why you don't just separate them in the first place. What were you waiting for? I always thought the general rule of thumb was to separate new geckos before having them share a cage to prevent outside diseases from reaching your current population.

I have another cage for them but it's not ready yet.
