Barriers, well if the table were big enough, then you could well put in a temporary barrier right across. Then that would sort the feeding out.
Or a partial barrier across so they can see each other that easily.
When you have two hatchlings they have to sort out who is alpha. This is why one will bite and ram the other. Once they have sorted this out, the problem should get less. But they do need a large space to get away from each other. My hatchling enclosures were around 4ft x 2ft so had plenty of room to get away from others.
