Have they done there first shed?
If not and you have the mother, put them back with mom until they shed.
Newborns typically don't feed right away so I wouldn't be too concerned for a few weeks.
If they have shed, offer them larger meals such as fuzzies or hoppers.
I assume they are set-up individually with a hide box and a basking area?
