The first thing that I always think of when I hear "tokay" and "not eating" is parasites. Considering that most tokay are wild caught, most of them are loaded with parasites. If they are allowed to go unattended, they can most certainly cause loss of appetite. Also, stress and/or poor husbandry issues can affect their desire to feed. I'd start with having a fresh fecal sample checked at the vets.
