Need more info to help. Fill out the help sheet and hopefully we can help. Where did you get them from and how long have you had them? 7 weeks is pretty young to be shipped out. Did you contact person you bought them from?

they do not "nap" during the day. Something is not right.

 

[carol5208]

did you get them from a reputable breeder? It is odd they both are sleeping. Either gotta be something in your set up causing it or some type of illness such as parasites that was passed on from one to the other. .

I contacted the breeder she did tell me the temperature is to high which would make them dehydrated and sleep , so I'm lowering the temperatures and she suggested doing a hydration chamber

You neeed a multivitamin. Also you need to gutload the feeders

Someone more expirience should help you more. Put some pics of the babies so we can see

Temperature is fine that is not the problem in me perspective

I have the herptivite multivitamin and ill post some pics of them when I got them and earlier today

 

[Vpetit13]

I noticed when I did lower the temperature they both moved more and became more active though

In my opinion you buy them way to small they are in a critical part of their life you need to provide them exelent gutloading and food they can eat 15 pinkheads in 1 day. Also you need the multivitamin calcium w/o d3 and calcium with d3 sorry for the bad english

That's pictures of when I first got them

 

[Vpetit13]

They aren't eating many crickets
I put a lot in there and they all seem to go towards the bottom where the baby's can't find them , the fruit flies they have been eating

 

[banshee1]

They re so so small and cute

I put mi babies in plastic container like this videos so they can see tha crikets

I had the same problem with a jacksons that I had got from petco and it had mites that may be it try seeing if you can find some mites you can try giving a bath then drying them off with a white towel and you may see them if you find anything you can go from there
