At that age, it could very well be a combination of settling in and fasting. As long as it is drinking and behaving normally, I would not force feed. Monitor its weight and if it begins to lose weight have it checked for parasites. Continue to offer food every two weeks. When offering food, try a couple hours after lights out. I would also try placing an upside-down plastic bowl just under it as its perched and leave the food item in the cage. I just had my male of the same age fast for 4 months. As it slowly began displaying hunting behavior, but still shyed away from the food item, I would leave it in the cage propped up off the floor. I found he would come down off the perch and take it a couple hours later. After a few feedings like this he began eating normally and now can't get enough.

Out of curiousity, when you check on it during the night, what behaviors are you noticing? Are you seeing any cage roaming or caudal luring (constantly moving the tip of its tail)?

Good luck and keep us posted.
