Dace, I have one male that will go a week without eating during cooler temps. This winter, I actually put a heat lamp on to help keep his appetite up a bit even though they can survive easily in the cooler temps. He never goes long enough to lose noticeable weight though. The girls will eat as much as you put in front of them, but the males tend to only eat until they're full. They also eat less if they're stressed, I'd skip the honey baths unless you notice signs of illness. Taking him out to bath him might make him less apt to eat. If the feeders are a little bigger than they should be, it'll take time for them to digest.
Also, it's absolutely necessary to have a water bowl with greys. In the wild, you will find them coming down from trees to soak. I tend to see them on bird baths and other places to get a nice soak going. They prefer to use their water bowls as a toilet also. I have a decent size water area in my grey tank that they will actually swim through in the evenings.
