Re: Help feeding..
Well, your humidity sounds fine but your warm end temps are very much too low: warm end ought to be about 92F and cool end ought to be about 82F with an ambient temp of about 82F.
What are you using to heat with, how are you regulating the heat, and what are you using to measure the temps?

Can you feed live? If so leave him be for a week or so then give it a live mouse.

Re: Help feeding..
try a live hopper mouse a brown one if you can if not try black
this usually works for ch babies and some wc there aren't white mice in the wild
if that don't work you could try a asf rat if you can find them

Try with the lights on, lights off, you in another room.
Believe it or not, I started having trouble feeding Jules for a few weeks.
I knew my setup was good, so I didn't change a thing except that I had my wife started feeding him and.. voila! Eat!
Are you feeding him in his enclosure? If not you should try that too.
