How long have you had them?
How old are they?

I got my little coastal four months ago at the age of 2 months.It took him a while to feed. It can take a while for them to settle into their new invironment. Leave them alone for about a week only open the cage to change their water. You can also try feeding at night, hatchlings are more active at night as they don't feel as threatened.

Hope this helps.

Hi,i had the same problem with my coastal,when i first got him i let him settle for a couple weeks,i tryed feeding,with no luck,i then tryed a week later at night and he just opened his mouth so i put the pinkie in,since then he has had a few feeds,not as many as i liked,but atleast hes eaten,good luck.
