They should take crickets, soft fruit, bit of canned cat/dog food, roaches, mushrooms, mix in some chopped greens and leave them to it.
They may not want to eat while your their also. I dont know how well adjusted they are to their set up. That could have a major bearing. Do they get on with each other.

Take them outside and let them warm up in the sun and then try feeding them. I chuck my lizards in a recycling crate. Mealworms aren't much good.
