Answer 1

First of all make sure they are not on sand or other loose substrate, as impactions are common and deadly.  Waxworms should be fed as a treat...they are not very nutritious.  Better choices are superworms and gutloaded crickets.  What are your UTH temps?  They should be 88-91F.  Too hot or too cold will affect digestion.  If you suspect an impaction, get them to a herp vet ASAP.

they are shedding their skin they always stop eating before hand.

Answer 3

What are you feeding them? The same thing happened with the leopard gecko I had. He died of "impaction," which is when the crickets hard exoskeletons aren't digested correctly inside the gecko's stomach. Hopefully that's not it, but you can always take it to a vet in your area to see.
