im wondering what might have caused the change in behavior from going from eating f/t pinkies regularly to not eating at all.
Sometimes if newborn neonates go to long inbetween meals they can shut down. That is why it is good to feed them as much as they will eat and as often as they will take. The larger and faster in grows in the beginning, the stronger and healthier it will be. If you wait a week or two, they can shut down.
Also it could be a combination of things like the part of the country you live in might be experincing an early winter. Or it may be some husbandry issue you missed like humidty.
Best thing is try to get its digestive juices flowing so it will eat on its own, or be prepared to shut it down for the winter cooling. That way it will conserve calories and will come out feeding like a champ in the spring.
