Nate I would recommend leaving hatchlings alone if they have any cord still showing at birth. Keep their container a little moist and they will lose it fine on their own, usually with in a few hours of hatching.
As far as the one with the thread hanging out of it's embilical hole. I would just leave it alone and hope it doesen't get infected inside. I wouldn't attempt to clean it and just leave it be.
