Rescued DHL...Need Help!

One of my 8 year old students brought it in for show and tell on Friday. He told me the lizard hadn't eaten in 2 weeks.

I'm not sure what type of horned lizard it is. I brought it home with me and placed him in some warm water and tried to feed him some crickets. (This is what the student had been feeding him.)

All he does is is dig under the ground. The temperature is about 95 degrees in his basking area and about 76 degrees at the other side of the tank.

Does anyone know whats wrong? I can take him to my herp vet but he is on vacation until next week.

Any way to get him to eat? I would hate for him to go another week without eating. It looks like he is still a baby.

If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.
