Resetup their tank

I added gravel and more live plants for now. Do you think this will help them feel more comfortable and get them to eat?

I think it will. Just add the flower pot, or something for them to hide under. And drop some guppies in there and leave them alone for awhile. Once they start feeding, they probably won't stop... My two eat better than I do, and they are only 2" each.

I think the constant changing is what is causing them not to eat. Alligator snappers stress out easier than a lot of other herps I keep. You should just let them sit for awhile and not touch them or go near their cage. Offer them food but in an environment with as little stimulation as possible. The only other suggestion I would make would be to seperate them, but at this point I would just not touch them. In fact, don't even really change their water until it is absolutely necesary, and when you do, don't even touch them if you can avoid it.
