What veggies/fruits/greens are you offering???
What is his cage temps?
How many days exactly have you had him?
As much info as possible will help us figure out why he's not eating.

we've tried several different fruits: peaches, strawberries, apples, mango, blueberries ..... veggies: lima beans, peas, corn, carrots ..... greens: collard greens, cilantro, mustard greens (dusted with calcium)
cage size: 30g for the time being (plans for a larger permanent one are in the works)
cage temp: not exactly sure, wehad one of those sticky ones to put on the side to see what it was, and for some reason it stopped working. (ordered a new one, but it hasnt made it here yet) since nothing has changed im pretty sure its around 85-90 in the day and 70-80 at night
we of course have a uvb light, use sand for a substrate..
have a water bowl for him to submerge in (not sure if he need this or not. kinda guessed from out knowledge of green iguana).. he has several hides and rocks/branches to climb on
am i leaving anything out?
oh, and we've had him 5 days

It could not be eating because of stress, being in a new place. Ive had different things do this and they usually come around in 2-4 days. I wouldnt worry about it.
