it sucks a lot.
Your not far from a few breeders on here and you should be able to get mealworms at pet shops as it is breeding season....

I would keep your hands out of the nest from now on or else they will leave the chick
You could feed them Maggots or Termites or Normal Mealworms if available and all other food topped up regularly.
