Number one: Separate them. Don't keep a male and female together until you plan to breed. IF you plan to keep a male in with a female, you need more females so she doesn't get chased around all the time, the female has to be of breeding age and a good weight before they are introduced.
Read the care sheets to be sure you have the temps and humidity right - don't go by what the breeder tells you, check it yourself.
Sand can be dangerous as a substrate, particularly for younger ones. Calci-sand is the worst. Check out the threads on impaction to see what it can do. Belly heat is important for digestions, and under tank heater will help with this.
Give them some crickets, it might be all they have been used to and they might not even recognize the mealies as food.
Be sure to dust the food with pure calcium and leave some in a dish that they can lick, vitamins with d3 should be used to dust the food every one or two weeks.
Also, be sure the have a humid hide to shed properly.
