I think some hatchlings just take longer than others to start feeding, so your best off continuing with what you doing for a while and hoping they start eating.

If they become really skinny and listless then that's when you should worry.

Try contacting your local rep shop to see if they would be prepared to take them on if you can't get them going. They might know a few tricks that get them kick started
