I think half the problem is the clutter in the viv.
Too easy for the bugs to scurry away and hide, and too hard for him to keep track of them if he is fed in the viv, and taking him out to feed in a separate tub is not working for him - it's only serving to stress him. + impaction risks from the mulch
So either remove all the clutter and make the existing viv as Spartan as possible (for now) and deny the bugs their hiding places and feed him in the viv
or
move him to a 100L rearing tub that set up very Spartan and move his hide, his dish and stick with him so he has familiar objects and keep and feed him in this for a few months to get him so he's thriving. see this for how I set up my rearing tubs : viewtopic.php?f=34&t=233480
and / or
start hand/assist feeding see : viewtopic.php?f=18&t=235583 ... at least this way you will know he's eating.
