Have you tried to feed worms to him? My hybrid female was not eating well until i fattened her up with worms. You can also try to feed him with tongs to put the food under his disk.

Im sorry for your loss. Its never fun to loose rays. I lost one female and one male leopoldi/motoro pups in two or three months this summer due to the heatwave that was here in sweden.
