    Have you checked for parasites? Internal parasites can make a BP go off feed.
    What size enclosure is he in? Maybe lower your hot spot to 88. Some BPs like it a little cooler. I know some of my babies actually go off feed over 91 degrees.

    Leave him completely alone. Don't assist feed. Assist feeding is highly stressful and typically only used on babies. It's not generally used on older animals. Don't handle him until he eats regularly on his own. And feed in his enclosure if you're not already.
    Next time, leave a live rat pup in with him.
    Have you tried ASFs?
