    What is your husbandry like?

    Enclosure size?

    Temps?

    Humidity?

    Hides?

    etc

    Food refusal with hatchling (given they were well started) is often husbandry/stress related.

    For the time being I would suggest a smaller enclosure if the animal is a 2011 hatchling something like a 6 tubs quarts until the animal reaches about 250/300 grams would be ideal.

    Along with that aspen bedding and GRADIENT temps.

    And no handling until he eats with consistence for you.
