Mixing critters is not a good idea. They will do it at petstores by lowering the temps to keep the critters inactive. If I put my tegu with any of my monitors, someone will become food. My moneys on the monitors.
My advice is to separate the animals. You just got them and they are probably stressed out and dehydrated.
Make sure they both have good hot basking spots and a large water bowl.
Your lizards are wild caught and have been through a lot and are more than likely dehydrated. A stressed and dehydrated lizard will not eat. This is why proper husbandry is so important, hot basking spots, proper substrates, proper diet, proper temps (hot and cool) and probably the most important part IMO is proper humidity.
With any new animal , especially a wild caught one a vet check is in order. You can also call the pet store and tell them you are having problems. They probably won’t care but some pet stores are in need of return customers and like to keep a good reputation.
