Succulent help

Evening everyone, so I’m really bad at looking after succulents (they’re behind the curtains so get forgotten about 🙄) these two are on a south facing windowsill which sits above a radiator. What is wrong with these two?

I could put these in the potting shed where my haworthia and Sanseveria are but I think the two in the photos need more sun than they could get in there?

Many thanks

Thanks for the advice philip. The compost that they’re in is cactus mix but I find that once it’s dried out completely it’s impossible to rewet?

Problem is that cactus mix is way too organic and unsuitable. Standard recommendation is John Innes No. 2 mixed with 40-50% suitable horticultural grit and NOT sand of any type.
