Coffee arabica seedling help

Had a look though the old posts and got some good information but itching that addresses the particular fquestion I have.

Picked up some arabica fruit (geisha rojo) on our honeymoon in April and was able to germinate 2 of them. The sprouted quite quickly and have been chugging along until last week. Now the most recently sprouted leaving have withered a bit and look crinkled.

They've been on a SW facing window sill that is fairly well shaded by the surrounding buildings. They're potted in non-draining terra cotta pots in miracle grow seed starting mix. Have always kept the soil moist. The smaller one was munched on by a critter that seems to have slowed it down.

Not sure if the turn towards the fall and the reducing sunlight hours has hurt them, have put them outside to get more sun the last few days, but it doesn't seem to be helping.

Any suggestions?
