I've scented with olive oil and that's alright. I have been told that amphibian wee is good too, but I tried it with mine and he wasn't interested.

Is he losing weight?

If he's not losing weight then I wouldn't worry too much, mine doesn't eat that often.

Just keeping trying and monitoring weight.

Have you tried feeding him in a confied space and in the dark?
