Hi there!

Its really kind of hard to answer your question without a little more information. It would be better if we knew What your housing conditions were, i.e. Cage size, substrate, are you housing them together or separate, are they well hydrated, what are you trying to feed, and most importantly, are your temperatures correct. From the pictures there seems to be some white substance all over the geckos which appears to me to be evidence of a bad shed, This was probably left over from who ever you bought them from. I would make sure that you provide a humid hiding area ASAP if you do not already have one for them. It may even be best if you give them a "bath" to ensure they are hydrated and that will also help with the shedding problems. I would also say that it would be best to keep them separated, at least until you get them eating again, and probably better yet, permanently. Housing more than one gecko together typically stresses one of them if not both of them out to the point where they wont eat, and eventually one, if not both will die. Occaisionally, yes, you will get a gecko that will not eat for a few weeks when introduced to a new home. Most will not eat the first day or two. Most will eat within the first few weeks. As long as they are well hydrated you are typically ok. Two weeks, however, is reaching a point where I would be growing a little concerned. If all of your husbandry is correct and your geckos are separated, and they still wont eat, the problem may be more severe, and medical. Your geckos may be suffering from internal parasites that are causing the lack of appetite, and I would suggest taking them to a vet for treatment. Let us know so more information, and we will help as best we can.
