Get them to the vet as soon as you can , but in the mean time, try putting some calcium powder in some pedyilite and give it to them. I have liquid calcium syrup I use for calcium problems, but a Vet can give them calcium injections, I think in your case it seems pretty serious if shes all hunched and twithcing.
Hope you can get them there kido! I will email you later , I just saw yours

aside from giving them calcium, do they have a UVB light?

i had the same problem a little bit back, i tried putting calcium powder in their water spray bottle(i let droplets fall on their faces and they open their mouths and look up to catch them) i also fed it a pinkie(good stuff ya know). the twitchy legs and funny walking cleared right up. i hope this advice helps, my best wishes for your little reptillian b.f.f.
