 Won’t eat

I just bought three anoles. My two females are sooooooooo skinny. The place I got them at only has sskiiiiiiinnnyyy females and fat males. I tried to get them to eat waxworms, but they won’t. Instead, Chartreuse, one of my females, grabs one right under it’s head until it dies, then she falls asleep, wakes up, and spits it out. She does the same with tiny crickets roaming around in the tank. Emerald, the other female, shows interest in eating, but I think she is too weak to even catch one. They both rub their mouth against stuff like they’re trying to get something out of it, but they don’t have anything in it. Is that normal? What can I do to help them? I am so worried.

bring them to a petstore and show someone there! Maybe they can help you! how big is your tank and what do you have in it?

Unfortunately, they already both died. :( They completely refused to eat. I have them in a 18x18x24 exo terra tank. I have all the right temperatures and a basking spot. The humidity never goes below 60% because I have a built in waterfall. I use eco earth as a substrate. I have LOTS of plants, real and fake.
And I have a biovine, wich they love. They seemed very happy in their tank, but they were already sick so I couldn’t do anything. But I now have two healthy, fat females in place of them so my male doesn’t feel lonely. In fact, as we speak, he is head bobbing and displaying his dewalp.
