Keep his stress to an absolute minimum. Don't hold him. Give him plenty of "night time" hours (darkness). Give him a hide box if he doesn't already have one. After allowing him to calm down and acclimate to his new home, offer him a prekilled mouse or weanling rat. He should eat at this point, but if he doesn't then wait another week before attempting again. He should be okay for a reasonable time and eventually his hunger will kick in.
