A few things jumped out at me here.
-Spinach is not a good food item to be feeding, be it in baby food or any other form.
-Water should not be offered--uromastyx will attain all the water they need from their greens and other food items.
-You should only soak a uromastyx as a last ditch effort and never under any other circumstance--this can cause a lot of health issues if done improperly.
-By force feeding you are putting the animal through high stress levels, which only hinders appetite.
IMO you should separate them ASAP. While you may not see signs or notice any aggression there very well could be--aggression between animals is projected in many ways, including posturing and vocal warning, which are both easily overlooked. Once you have them separated allow the Saharan to acclimate, avoiding any unnecessary handling. You can try providing brightly colored food items like dandelion flowers, shredded yellow pepper, radicchio or any other edible flowers (make sure they were not exposed to pesticides and avoid flowers from flower shops). In the meantime, can you provide me with more specific information in regards to husbandry? For instance:
-Enclosure (type, dimensions, substrate, shelter/hide info etc etc)
-Lighting (type, manufacturer, wattage distance from the reptile)
-Heating (how you are heating, basking temps, warm side temps, cool side temps, how you obtained these temps)
-Diet (specific food items, how often they are fed)
It would help if you could post a few images of the uromastyx and of the enclosure and lighting setup as well. Until then, please visit UroWiki and read up on every topic--getting your husbandry correct is absolutely crucial.
