Check humidity and temperature in the enclosure. Either can affect activity, appetite and digestion. Soak him in a warm solution of water and unflavored PediaLyte. A gentle abdominal massage during the soak may stimulate defecation. Be sure to use dechlorinated (or otherwise conditioned) water for the soak. You will need to see your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating amphibians if the appetite does not return.
