I've had countless hatchlings stop eating for no reason, it just happens sometimes, what i usually do is mix up the food, they get tired of the same old same old. I also while they are off food give them from a dropper a baby food (bananna), jump start (can be found at petsmart), gatorade, and vitamin supplement. Mix it all together and stir. THe jump start is an appetite stimulant and is loaded with good stuff it seems to really help. If this doesn't work i would have him checked out by a vet. Better safe then sorry.

Has he always had a good appetite? Have you tried differnt foods? Is he defecating on a regular basis? Is he acting normal except fact of not eating? Just a few questions for ya.
