That's such a cute baby. I just love the babies; they make my heart go pitter patter 
Did you see my post about Dr. Atlas? If he's not eating then it won't take long for him to go downhill. Since anorexia is not a life and death matter yet, I would make sure it doesn't become one. You can force feed them, but it's not easy. Create a liquid paste of food (canned Hill's Diet Prescription AD with a little water mixed in is my favorite), add some powdered calcium and vitamins and put it in a syringe. Gently use the tip of the syringe to pry Fella's mouth apart at the corner, then slide the syringe in the mouth and fill the mouth with the food. Take the syringe out and let him swallow. Repeat until you've given him about 1cc. Do this twice a day. This method has saved more than one anorexic collared of mine, however you still need to figure out the root of the problem and I think only a vet will be able to do that.
