What are you using for heat? Are they in the hides? Are they in the hot end or cool end? Fish tanks are not the best as they loose a lot of heat through the glass and the fly screen. Have they got UV light? Are they interested in the food at all or don't even pay attention to it? Do you know of theyw ere eating before you got them? Lots of mealworms can cause impactions cause the chitin layer on the outside can't be digested properly.

My eastern beardy eats mealworms......... The breeder said that they were fine for them
Try your nearest reptile specialist, if you don't try a wildlife park or zoo.
