The first observation: Those babies are being kept too humid. Those paper towels look wet. Keep them dry, use a very small water dish only partially full.

The second is this: paper towels are fine to use, but make sure you layer it so they can hide.

I offer every 4 days and if after 4 offerings they do not eat, I whip out the toad scenting, and it seems to always work. Tuna and salmon work for people as well, but nothing for me has compared to toad for the problem feeders.
