Your actually keeping them correctly. I would try butterworms,silk worms if you can get them as they are good to fatten them up.



I dont dust crickets with vitamin powder as my fire skink doesnt seem to like that but I do gut load the crickets with good food few days prior to feeding them this might help you in long run.



For now your set up is great . If your fire skinks arent an actual pair they will fight and 2 together wont work out .



Yours just came in "beat up" imagine wild caught but your set up is fine . I use a UV basking bulb only because my motto is since have a basking area anyway might as well have bulb with UV.

Mine isnt a big basker but light is on 10/12 hours a day.

I have heard some will eat baby food chicken,fruit mine wont but for you worth a try .



Mist them once a day .



The fruit mine gets is from what I feed the crickets otherwise he wont touch fruit either. Good luck hopefully they will pull through
