Keep them warm- try putting a hot water bottle outside or under the tank.
You could also try syringe feeding them some baby cereal, baby food, and
pedialyte. If they're not eating/drinking they're could be becoming
dehydrated. If you suspect an infection, try an over-the-counter bird
antibiotic (ornacycline) or one prescribed by a vet. Hope they feel better!
