Just go in and ask whats the worst they can say to you? If they have said to you they are on their last legs then they have nothing to lose and would probably prefer you did take them and give it a go if they are going to die anyway. To be honest I am surprised they have them on display still anyway if they are not feeding. But not all baby corns will feed and to be honest some are better off not surviving in my opinion. But the geckos will be worth a go just be prepared fo the worst if you do take them on. But good luck to you if you do and hope you can help them.

Only thing is IF you do bring any animal home ESPECIALLY a known sick animal make sure you follow strict quarentine rules! Dont want anything happening your own animals
