I potted 3 seedlings 3 months ago (1 Bridgesii, 1 Peruvianus, 1 Pachanoi) of about 4 cm each.
Only the Bridgesii has grown. The other two are still the exact same size, so I was beginning to suspect they might be dead. They're still green though, so I re-potted them, and saw they still have roots as well.

Bridgesii grow faster than the other 2 in my experience, so that doesn't sound to unusual, especially for repotted seedlings.
Do you give them fertiliser and full sunlight?

I've given them fertiliser a few times, with 3 weeks in between.
They first started out in full sunlight. However, June turned out to be a very hot month, and the Pachanoi and Peruvianus had actually shrunk a bit, so I put them in a more shady spot 2 months ago, fearing the sun would dry them out. Still haven't grown since, although they definitely don't look dead. Then again, I'm new at all this and I wouldn't know how to tell a dead cactus from a live one.

Do you give them fertiliser and full sunlight? dont feed or water much-if at all-, or give full sun until they are growing! rot and sun burn are the enemies

The Peruvianus has finally started growing. Now hopefully the Pachanoi will follow

When it stops breathing. It's not the first time we've been in this dream.
