Soak them in warm water a few times a week till you see em poop. Keep up with it and dont get scared that they wont make it I had some go longer then that for no reason at all and they never had any health issues do to it.

Mine will fast from time to time especially if you feed them a lot earlier. They do this all the time and start eating again days later.

maybe they dont have enough privacy. try drapping a towel or blanket over 3/4 of the cages so they have more privacy and so its darker. they really like that. do that for a week or two and see if that improves anything. also always feed fresh insects. take old crickets out and put new ones in. also make sure your bugs cant hide from your geckos and thats why they cant get them. dont flood them with food either put 5 in at a time/night.
