@Jeremy: You are completely right, they are just a color form of normal j.jacksoniis. The term "willengensis" is not really valid, it's just describes more or less colorful specimen of j.jacksonii
I will try to help you. Put the juveniles on a place which is very bright, best would be a eastern laid window. Give the juveniles the chance to warm up under a small spot, between 10-25 Watt (IKEA has here great and cheap solutions). The spots should be 4-6 times on per day, for ca 20-30min
Spray up to 5 times per day, drinking is one of the most important factors for small jacksoniis and other montane species.
All in all, I can now just cross my fingers for you. It can be that you just get a worse clutch, this can happen everywhere. I've had this with several red rudis clutches, no matter what I did, all juveniles died.
