Hello and welcome to BB Looks like you are doing well so far. Your new teil first have to adjust to their new home and flock. You being a new flock member to them. This can take several weeks to months. Working with them every day will help a lot.. Are they both DNA male and Female or did the prior owner just tell you they are male and female.. If they are the male may see you as a threat to his mate..
I was given a presumed male teil the end of December and I still get bit almost every time I try to get him to step up. My daughter has had much more success then I have thus far... He also came to me on a seed only diet.
At first he wanted nothing to do with the pellets so I started putting the seeds and pellets in the same bowl and decrease the amount of seed by just a little bit every day and in 2 months time he is now eating mostly pellets. So now I am adding very tiny bits of veggies to the bowl and he is starting to eat them also.
I feed both my FIDS broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, yellow beans, snow peas, and Brussels sprouts. I also give them bits of apple pear peaches and give 100% juice to them to drink as a treat every day when I get home from work.
Just give them time and attention and the rest will come it time.
