They can smell the food. Are you feeding pellets? If they are hatchlings, you can also try worms and boiled meat. They should eat within a week

Try bits of sardines or tuna in water, also bits of hard-boiled egg whites. Babies like the movement of live food, so getting them some small crickets or small earthworms (cut into pieces if they're bit) would also tempt them to eat.
