I had a red sumatran just like the one you've described, and faced the same problem. Now that he has some nutrition, enough to last awhile, I would recommend keeping him in a ten gallon enclosure with a glass canopy, or something blocking almost all of the escaping air. Make the humidity as high as possible without drenching the animal, to where the sides of the tank are at least partially foggy and a warm, mosit air comes out when the tank is open. have a heavy hide spot for him to feel secure agaisnt, perhaps just a large water bowl, also good if he decides to soak. His hydration must increase for him to be able to digest anything more than what youve given him. With my animal, I put him, dehydrated as hell, in a ten gallon with a sterile piece of brick and large water bowl and let it get steamy, didnt touch him for about a month. I never noticed him move, but he seemed to be getting better, by that I mean more shine and 'fullness' to his folds and skin. I decided to leave a small pk/ft pinky out for him overnight, and sure enough he found it and ate it. Your animal must become much more hydrated and maintain that hydration for him to be able to develop.
