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.
