Lori:
It sounds like this is a recent addition to your collection, and also like you are doing a lot of things correctly as far as set up goes. This leads me to believe that this animal is likely infected/infested with some type of internal parasite, be it bacterial, protozoal, or some type of worm. The best thing for you to do would be to quickly take the animal in to a veterinarian, who is familiar with reptiles, along with a stool sample if possible, so that he/she may check the sample for some type of parasite. The sooner the better (I would go tomorrow if possible). It sounds like this animal only stopped eating recently and may still be able to be rescued... Good luck!
