Give him at least a week of "unharassed" rest. Don't pick him up, clean his cage, or try to feed him. I would also add a humid hide as you suggested to give him a warm, dark, moist place to convalesce.
What were they feeding him? If you are changing his food type it may take a little longer for him to switch over.
Rare that even baby balls eat something as small as a fuzzy. Try a hopper mouse or crawler rat instead, even an "adult" mouse. Appropriate sized food items are as big around as the widest part of the snake's body. Get the head of the rodent as hot as you can without cooking it.
If he still won't eat f/t soon, try live to whet his appetite.
