I am going to assume you bought them this weekend, Are they set up by themselves? If so leave them be for at least a week or two, they need to adjust to the new set up. Make sure they have a hide proper temps, do not handle(this is the hardest part) then after the week or two try feeding live hoppers. Keep an eye on them, if they do not eat wait a few days try again, they may take some time to eat but they will be ok as long as they are not losing to much weight..
