It could be the stress of moving into a new home. Just keep putting food in their cages each day with fresh water. SKinks won't starve themselves. They'll eat eventually.
I'm sure the experts on here will have lots more advice for ya.

How are they set up?
What type and size cage, what bedding, what sort of hide spots? What kind of heating, lighting, what are the temperatures on the cool side and hot side? Are they housed together?
All of this is nessesary before we can truely help you.

Pryce didn't eat more than a tiny nibble in his first week or so. I just kept offering, and eventually he gave in. Now he's eating great. Just make sure the tank is set up right and the temps are good, and they'll eat in time.

Have you read the caresheet here a few times,most of the questions that pop up are covered there.If the tank set up's o.k.[temps/susbtrate and all that], it could be shed related or just settling in time, dont panic yet...
