what is his enclosure like? what are your temps?are you feeding any live food? how old is your uv tube? any chance you could post a picture of how he looks now and how he looked before and also a picture of his enclosure.
is he captive bred or a wild caught uro? has he ever been treated/tested for parasites?

I offered mine fresh greens daily, and he always had a bowl of mixed seeds (chick peas, lentils etc). He didn't always eat his greens every day but he was offered them incase he did want them.
