I would like to see him eating more than 3 waxworms a day. In fact, unless he is really thin I would prefer to know it is eating something more nutritious than waxies. If that is all you can get down him right now at least he is getting something and since waxies aren't a MHD favorite you shouldn't have to worry about him getting hooked on them.
I still wonder if he would eat if you could find the right thing to temp him. I find that mine love grubs and non-toxic caterpillars. If he is half grown, 6-7" total lenght then he should be able to eat small nightcrawlers or earthworms. I leave them in a pet food dish with a little moist soil and leave for a while. When I get home from work they are almost always gone. I would sure try it. Some MHDs don't like to eat when you are around.
I am also wondering if he is A. lepidogaster. They aren't usually bright green but I have seen one that was. If it is A. capra then the babies, if well cared for and relaxed, are very bright green. The colors become duller with age but the babies are quite colorful.
MHDs do have large poop for their size! Wait till you see what come from an adult! I'm just glad it is pellets!
Good luck with him, I still encourage you to have a fecal check done but if his colors are bright that isn't a sign of poor health.
