assuming temps ect are ok and he generally healthy....have you tried braining it (small split in the head of his food which makes it smell more pungent and irresistable)...my royals can be finicky and this usually works with the pair of them. royals seem to have this habit of torturing us with their pickiness

i'm a worrier if mine miss one feed, they my babies, shouldn't be too concerned if this is typical of him as long as he doesn't appear to have lost weight. royals are a pain in the ass for making us panick. just keep trying with resonable gaps betwen feeding...check all cons in viv and defo try braining...its never failed me once and all ine get awkward from time to time (apart from my kingsnake who would eat me given half a chance lol)

I am the same as wolfbane, I worry if my Royals miss one feed so I am not surprised you are fretting. I can't see why the chick would be a problem so long as it is the right size but perhaps braining will work. Good luck, hope he eats soon, Kat
