Yeah - I'd be contacting the seller as soon as possible to let them know you are not happy with the condition of the animals you received. They should not have been shipping animals that were in such poor health. Sounds like you're doing a good job with them though. How big are they? You could give them some Sandoz Liquid Calcium, that stuff works wonders - but they'd need to be big enough that you could calculate the dosage correctly.

I had a hatchy with a calcium problem and the symptoms included spasming, twitching and mouth gaping. He weighed 3 grams and the vet had him on half a drop of Sandoz, twice per day. He's doing great now. The lack of balance can be a sign of overheating, but with the other symptoms you mentioned I'd be more inclined to think their problems are calcium related.
