Mine just poops in his. I just found this out today and have to figure out how to "train" him to go in another spot. He hasn't shed yet and might want that humid hide when he does. Not sure how to keep it poop-free.

Is the humid hide in a warm area in which they won't feel too cold? Also make sure it's no clear. Some geckos do not like being seen.

Hatchlings and juveniles are more skittish and are probably scared to go anywhere right now. Give them time. I agree with the above, make sure the moist hide is on the warm side as they do not like wet & cold hides. But in general since you got hatchlings, give them time as they'll likely just want to hide for now.
