Sorry for long delay, my computer was poorly!
As you have only had them a little a while, then a trip to a specialist tortoise vet to check them over would be a good idea. If they do have worms then the vet can give the right amount medication that is needed for their body weight etc. Have you got the marginated and the leopards in a separate pen? where did you get the leopards from?
