My juvenile Mexican hognose won't eat

I acquired my hognose at about 2 weeks old - I know, way too young, I didn't realize this until after the transaction. For his first meal, I gave him a pinkie head and butt and he ate it with no problems. I've tried feeding him every week from that point, but he won't eat. I tried scenting the pinkie with tuna juice and I even tried giving him boiled egg whites. He actually acted interested in the egg whites, I left him in his feeding container with them overnight and I still didn't have any luck. He is still at a good weight and seems bright, alert, and responsive, but I'm concerned because this will be his third week to not eat. Again, I feel awful that he isn't eating and I am still kicking myself because I bought him at such a young age, y'alls advice will be very appreciated. Thanks!

Not sure how you keep him but do the following

Get 2.7 quarts tub

Aspen bedding

Hot spot of 90

Offer food in the tub, (live 1 day old pinky) not scented (living it overnight), if not eaten you can try the following scent.

Hard boil egg (you can even offer some pieces of hard boil eggs

Vienna sausage

Chicken

Anchovies

Toad
