Sometimes geckos can take up to 2-3 weeks to eat. Due to stress of being in a new environment. Just keep offering it everyday. It will come around.

I'd give him several weeks, and you need to handle him as little as possible during those two weeks. I would not handfeed him at this point.

All of my healthy stubborn geckos are now eating CGD without problems. It just takes time! Some still prefer bugs but will not refuse CGD. Took a few months but we got there
