Bearded Dragon Egg

Hi,
I am seeking some advice from those who may be more experienced with bearded dragons than I. Our female dragon laid her first clutch of eggs....13, with 4 fertile. 3 of the 4 have hatched within the past week.
I am having a hard time getting the hatchlings to eat. I am hand feeding them by syringe with a product a pet store suggested.....Repta-Boost. The oldest hatchling is getting some nutrients because it has gone to the bathroom twice. The younger two hatchlings, one that hatched this past Wednesday, are not so eager to eat and have not gone to the bathroom.
I am wondering how long it will take for these little guys to start showing eagerness for food? I have offered a small cricket each time I feed them but the hatchling will not go after it and eat it, even though I am feeding the dragons in a separate container that is small (so that the dragon doe snot have to chase the food).
Any advice would be helpful. Hoping that these little guys will grow.
Thanks,
~Kristina
