The first thing you should do is quit sticking your hands in the cage. How long have you had him? I've seen many geckos that took a week to start eating after being shipped. The most important thing is to keep it hydrated and at the proper temperature. If you've had him for a while and he suddenly stopped eating he's probably sick and should go to a vet.
