How long are your lights on for? What are your temperatures in the enclosure, under basking lamp, warm end, cool end, night time?

Have you bathed him? I bathe regularly until they start to feed. Offer something like tomato and cucumber to start as they smell good! If no luck often a few small peices into the mouth will help. It is early days so do not worry too much. I hope he starts to feed soon.
