A vet wont be able to do anything. Separate them. They may not be getting enough food from competition. Only 14? was that the total of eggs? Could be from a female who wasnt nourished properly. Could just be weak hatchlings also.

There where originally 23 but after time it was down to 14 i got them with one of my females off of craigslist i didn't expect them to even hatch but glad they did.
