Leave them be, provide clean water and wait for them to wake up, and wait, and wait, LOL, leave your heating/lighting on during the day mimic the natural daylight, remember, your basking spot needs to be a white light, that will give an air temp of 40 - 43c, from above, and dont forget the UV only 'lasts' 5-6 mths.....
or you can take them outside in the sun for 15 - 20 min 2 or 3 times a week, it is possible to get mesh enclosures (the name escapes me) that allow plenty of airflow, dont leave them out there on their own, they will likely get taken by birds / cats, and there have been other reptile owners who have been well meaning and put there little ones outside, in the sun, in their plastic tubs, with the lids on, so please dont do this, it will end in tears,
PS when handling your pygmies, please remember that they are very quick on their feet, and i haven't yet heard of anyone walking around with them on their shoulder like the eastern and central beardies.....
also , dont leave crickets in the tank, they have a taste for dragon toes while the dragons sleep.....
