I got a pair of Leopard geckos a week ago, i'd say that they are around half grown and they havent eaten let, ive been feeding them regular mealworms which they were eating before in the shop and i havent noticed any disapearing out of the food bowl, ive tried tearing a mealworm in half and offering it to them and they just like the juicey stuff inside the mealworm.

Will they just start eating them they become hungry?
 
Give them a week to settle into their new home and I'm sure they'll start eating for you. You might want to consider trying some crickets. The movement might spark their appetite.
 
Give them a little time to get use to their new home and also like said above crickets should get them eating right away. If you still can't get them to eat you might be in some trouble and if you start to see the tail shrinking you may have to start force feeding till they feed on there own. Post up some pictures of the little guys. I have lost a few young ones that I couldn't get to eat and I did everything to get them going but didn't help. Since there still new to the new place they should be fine and feeding in no time.
