Hi and welcome!:
Just a few things I want to note for you:
1. You should not have a night-drop in the temps. Get a proper gradient of 92-94 warm side and 82-84 cool side...and keep it just like that.
2. You should give them at least a full week to settle in before attempting any handling at all. While you think handling them relaxes them, it is in fact doing the opposite. They need time to adjust to their new homes and feel safe and secure...then you can start with brief, regular handling, but not more than once a day at the very most. I would recommend starting off even slower than that.
3. And only offer food once a week...period. If they don't eat it that day, they can easily wait another week to try again. Doing so will get them onto a consistent, predictable feeding routine that they seem to thrive on.
Good luck with them! We'd love to see pics if you got'em!
