It just sounds traumatized mate. Try and leave it for a few days. Don't leave anything uneaten in there. Let him build up an appetite and calm down, that's probably your best bet from what I see. Because if you keep trying to force it to eat it's just going to get more and more stressed til it breaks and gives up. I would give it some space. Keep the tank covered, keep it warm, and humid. If he seems dehydrated, I would throw in a humidity hide, or a humidity bomb sort of deal if you have any screen enclosures.
