it's not uncommon for them to be picky every so often. Carefully measure out the HPW soup tonight and measure it again in the morning to see how much they ate of that. Same for the solid food on the side. If you can weigh it before and after, that's great. Sometimes if they skip a night they eat like pigs the next night. Good idea also to change the solid food for variety each night.

a little more calcium. consider putting in a little repcal with D3 into their soup (few pinches per batch) or use Calcium/D3 fortified Orange Juice instead of water in their soup.

so they are still refusing to eat there veggies and fruit mix, i've tried adding honey to each, and tried adding some yogurt to each and still nothing. its been almost a week since they have eatin properly. either they are eating very little or none at all. they use to eat the whole thing.

Have you tried giving them just cut up fruits and veggies? My gliders prefer to have little glider hand size pieces they can pick up and carry to their favorite spot to eat.

If I give them pureed fruits or veggies or baby foods, they eat about 1/4 of it at best.

My GliderKids do not seem to care if their fruits or veggies are fresh or frozen. Frozen ones have thawed to room temperature by the time the GliderKids wake up and are ready to eat them.
