You need to confirm what species you have as well. Did you catch it, and where? If it is a Roundtail, they often have a preference more so toward honeypot ants, and this may be why he was initially excited by ants, but quickly tired. You should also keep aware of a possible impaction, and ensure that he is still defecating since eating last, and that he is adequately hydrated. The initial stress caused by captivity and improper conditions can cause many potentially fatal problems to develop quickly. Observe from a distance, and handle only as you must.
