He may be sick. If he did indeed eat his own fecies that is probably what made him sick. Also I need to ask if both heat pads arw on the same end of the tank? They need a temp gradient so they can deside whether they want to be warm of cool. Keeping both sides warm and having no cool side can cause stress. There should always be a warm side and cool side. Also if the last meal he ate for you was a pinky or fuzzy he may be constipated. They can't digest mammalian tissues easily and they should only be given to them once a month, no more than that. You may have to seek vet treatment. Let him be for another day, but keep a close eye on him. Do you use de-chlorinated water?

If it comes down to life or death you will have to force feed. If you truely want to save him when it comes right down to it you may have to. I've had to do it and its not that bad.

Keep us posted.
