He looks signifigantly dehydrated. I would leave him on water or at least wet his paper an let him stay that way for a few days.....

How often are you trying to feed him? You should only try once every seven days. Any more than that and you risk stressing him out and turning him off his food. I have a blood that went 9wks without eating when she was only 2 months old. Relax.

I'd also say to wait at least one week before offering food next. Alot of these guys will not eat while in shed, so that could have been the issue you were having Try again in a week, and let us know how it goes!

Try soaking him with a moist towel in the tub with him. That should help him rub off the skin.

If the piece of shed is just a patch on his head, and doesn't include an eye cap, then I would leave it alone. There's no need to stress him out by rubbing on him when it's just cosmetic. It will likely come off during his next shed.
