If he is still plump and healthy looking then do nothing but wait. It sounds like you have gone through all of your husbandry practices. All you can do is to keep an eye on him and he will eat when ready. I would handle him very little while waiting.

If he starts losing weight and looking poor then you will need to take action but until then don't worry.

In my opinion you will not know what action to take until you can see what is causing the problem. Make sure he is drinking water. Sometimes it is almost like they forget where the water dish is. You can dip his head in a little and if he drinks like crazy, then you may have found the issue.
