He hasn’t been with you for that long. That is probably why he isn’t eating. Some dragons can stop eating for several days when they move to a new environment.
I have written about “refusal to eat” at my site, you can go here:

Look for “Refusal to eat” to the left (almost at the bottom).
If he don’t start to eat in a couple of days I suggest that you take a fecal sample to the vet and have it checked for parasites. That is also a common reason why they stop eating.
Good luck!
