It's possible Grizzly could be having some minor GI upset. I would pick up his regular food for a bit and then offer a bland diet of some boiled chicken and rice as this can help settle minor GI upset. You can then start offering him his regular food again. I would avoid feeding people food beyond basic chicken and rice to avoid any additional GI upset, and would avoid switching his food completely if he has a history of a sensitive stomach. If he still refuses his food, or shows any other symptoms of illness, bringing him to your vet is best to rule out any issues such as parasites, GI illnesses, etc that could be causing the problem.
