Hatchling Mac still hasnt eaten.

its been 23 days since my hatchling mac last had a meal. His last meal was a day old pinkie mouse. Ever since then ive been trying to feed him but he just refuses. He is kept in a 30cm long by 15cm plastic tub with a head mat on one end. The gradient is 32 at hot, 28 middle and 25/26 at cool end. humidy is at avarage 40-50%. He hides during the day which is normal and is very active at night. Always going out exploring trying to escape. When i recieced my hatchling mac on the 12th of feb, the owner said it was due for a shed, but it still hasnt shed. I check it daily. It looks perfictly healthy. It goes exploring and is very reactive with sudern movments and calm when i move slow.

Ok ive tried
-day old pinkies, frozen and live
-Washed pinkie
-lizard scented pinkie
-cockatiel scented pinkie
-brained pinkie
-fish scented pinkie
-fish.
-chicken meat

Nothign worked, he didnt even go for them just turned his head and walked away. I sometimes left them overnight next to his hide hide box but its still there in the morning. I do it with tongs to that he cant scense my heat and only the foods but he still ignors it. It was born x-mas day and is rougly 32cm long and pencil width. Since it was born it ate the following meals. Lizard, lizard, lizar/pinkie, lizard scented pinkie, pinkie. So its last meal was a plain pinkie but it woutn even look at a pinkie.

Can anyone offer me advice? I woudl higly apreciate it.
