Are they living in a fake tree in a enclosure? Or are the living in a "free range" environment (no cage)?
Are they living on the same tree/in the same cage?
I would stop putting them in a seperate enclosure to eat. try cup feeding, placing the feeders in a small cup/bowl that is within reach of the animals so the can stay in their "home" im sure i would not eat if everyday someone picked me up put me in an unfamilar place to eat.
how old are they?
