Maybe he isn't hungry. Maybe he doesn't want a meal worm shoved in his face. Honestly, we have a male about that age and sometimes he wont eat for a week. Then he will eat just fine for a week or two or a month. Then he wont eat for a week. As long as he is not losing weight and is healthy I wouldn't stress.
