My KSB wouldnt eat for me for over a month when I first got him . I tried everything but patience..hehe ..seems he will let me know when hes hungry. I find him just laying there with his head poking out waiting for his meal. I have to make sure the mouse is real hot and sorta pretend its alive by walking it around him its like doing the food dance ..sometimes I am at this for 10 minutes or more as he measures it up. watching ..waiting for the right moment and strikes when hes ready. After figuring that out hes been eating every time since.. good luck and your guy will eat when hes good and hungry. Sometimes the weather patterns set them off too.
