iv found that they like watermelon

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.

 

[DA_GRIZ]

yeah they have been with each other from babys i got them at yearlings

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.

 

[mickousley]

try some roaches or live pink mice ,meal worms are no good and shouldnt be used, if housing in side take them out for some sun

Mine love banana and mince, they are living with Bluetongues so accept bluetongue standard fare. Good luck.
