two baby cockatiels questions

Hello, I've bought two new cockatiels 2days ago and they seem perfectly fine, however the 4week old one doesn't seem to eat from the pot as well as the 6week old one, they eat when i put it on the big miror laying around or on one of my clothes, same with water. the 4week old one eats of my hand, but the 6week doesn't.
Also is it normal for the 4week old baby cockatiel to stand on its food? and is it normal for the 4week old one to poop big amount of dirt at once?
The 6week old one stepped on the 4week old one twice which seemed a bit wierd but the 4week old one didn't do anything.
How do i get them to start eating from the pot and drinking from there food pot?
There cage is medium sized which fits both of them since they are small but i'll be getting a bigger cage in few weeks time.
The 4week old one climbs on my hand when i rub his belly but sometimes it takes him/her 10minutes or more to get on my hand the 6week one doesn't really get on all the time.
I've clipped both of there wings, well the shop owner did apart from the last two feathers at the end.
The white one with yellow face is the 6week old one and the stripey coloured one is the 4week old one. yesterday i also noticed that once the 6week old one went into the cage the 4week old one started rushing into the cage too is it normal for them both to go in that the same time? i am thinking maybe the 4week old one feels safe next to the 6week old one.
The are both beside my laptop falling asleep. The white one also sits/sleeps on the food too but im not sure if its normal for standing or sitting on the food for the 6week one and 4week one.
