First thing to find out is if they are fertile or not and then you can rule that out. How moist is your vermiculite? Sounds like they might not have enough moisture. The temp sounds a little high to me and you might want to kick it down to about 83-84. Do you take your temps from inside the Tupperware with a lid on it? Got a picture of them?

Good luck...
