I got them moved to their seperate containers...
The instructions that were given were great, got a complete setup for less than 40 dollars! But I had to buy the tools as well.
And the two leos that were housed together are much more active already, I have high hopes now!
I will post some pics if someone would like

1.0 australian shepherd/cattle dog (Foster...although he was being fostered before I got him...that has nothing to do with his name...It's after the beer!...lol since he's australian and I'm a college student!)
Glad to here things are looking up. From the pictures of your leos that you have posted, I would say they are doing well, even if they haven’t eaten much that you have seen. You shouldn’t get discouraged; it’s the right thing to put them in individual containers for now.
Make sure you keep a close eye on temperatures because this is an untested setup. I know all the stories that people have may make you a bit paranoid, but they are just trying to help guide you in the right directions. I know I wouldn’t want some one to make the same mistake I did, they are just trying to help. You could receive all the advice in the world, but nothing works better than personal experience, and testing. Try to find what works best for your geckos as individuals; they will not all have the same preferences or habits. Keep up the good work, and keep us posted!

If not...
I'm not sure if any one has suggested this yet.
But, when I have a hatchling that refuses food, I'll take a cricket, remove the antennae and hoppers, smash the head, squeeze out some guts and offer it to the little guy on forceps. I gently bump it on its nose until he decides to take a lick. Once they get that lick, they usually perk right up and take it from the forceps.
Are you keeping them in the dark all the time? If so, a dimly lit room would probably be better. My leos seem to do most of their eating right at dusk.
Good luck,
Alice
