well, they are probably still a bit confused about where they are... try again tomorrow, but only put one cricket at a time in. if neither wants it, try later in the day. if they dont eat by sunday or monday, you may have toi make a vet appointment. good luck, and keep us updated!

They are most likely getting accustom to their new surroundings. Your new leos will come out at night and hunt, I’ve noticed my babies don’t like me watching them. Give them some time to settle in, and maybe try mealworms if you can. I’ve been razing my hatchings on medium sized mealworms, and its been working great. It can take some time for them to get used to your hand. You just need to show them that you are not a threat, and that comes with time. Keep us posted, and good luck!
