I had an '01 male Blue Beauty hatchling that went through the same thing &, unfortunately, died just before christmas. The post mortem revealed nothing untoward, but he had died from a burst gall bladder due to anorexia. Seeing as it was less than 2 mths since his last feed the vet came to the conclusion that it was some sort of metabolic disfunction that prevented him from processing his food correctly.

Have you got some sort of food supplement (like critical care formula) ? That could help keep them going.
