Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. If you think that they are not eating and seem a bit lethargic, it is a good idea to have them checked out by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I would recommend having their blood tested in addition to the examination. They might also be dehydrated since it has been so hot out and may need fluids for rehydration. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
