ONLY 2 DAYS

WOW! Glad you didn't say two weeks! If you were only gone 2 days, you don't have too much to worry about..... Resume feeding as you were and give your beardie a nice soaking bath and a good drink.
2 days isn't going to be life or death to your beardie since he/she was probably well taken care of beforehand. Just give it some love and special attention and things should be fine.

Yes give him a good drink.
I get my babies to drink by spraying them and then when they lick I lift them over to thier water and swish the water about so they can see it.
If you give him a bath make sure the water is warm.
Sometimes to get Beardies feeding again its good to use a dose of pro-biotic formular, something like Avipro. I wouldnt use a big dosage on a baby though.
Have you tried giving him some green? Mixed salad leaves, water cress, rocket and stuff like that they love. Remember though no iceburg lettuce.
If he loses weight after a few days then liquidize down some feeder insects with some greens and a small dosage of probiotics and give him this gently in a dropper or syringe.
Hope that helps.

What are the temps in the viv?
Maybe he has cooled down a bit.
