Something else that is recommended to prevent and help blockages, increase his fiber intake. The diet you've been feeding him is rather low in fiber; try to take some grass clippings from your lawn and feed it to him, if he starts eating again.
I've tried feeding him grass quite a bit in the past months I have had him, he always leaves it alone and has never eaten it. Do you think I could sprinkle salad style over his food to give him more fiber? If you haven't heard of it, the link is below.

If he gets to the point I must give it to him, where do I buy it and how exactly does it go in his moth the most calm way that won't scare him or stress him out?
