Raise the temp and offer as much food as they will eat, be sure to dust the food items with calcium powder

to see if anythings wrong. If they're babies its normal for them not to really fatten up cause they're using all they're food for growth not storage. As long as they're eating it cant be too bad. Whats ur temps? 90 on hot side? Make sure ones not eating all the food or bullying.

between 80 and 90 degrees. I have to get a new thermometer.

If they are eating and not gaining weight it could mean they have worms. It would probably be a good idea to bring them to the vet and have them checked out. It really doesn't cost that much. Better safe than sorry.
