1. if you put the bowl in your hand he will probably eat the food and if he does.....2.the next feeding time put your hand where the food bowl normaly is ,and if he eats it there .....3.try setting the bowl down and hopefully he will eat his food out of the bowl. if this fails i suggest repeting 2 and 3 for a couple days. :)

Sounds like he has been taught to take food from your hand to help him get ready to be someones pet . Try to find at least one time a day to hand feed him and give him that attention .. He will adjust to the new way of getting his food in a short time just be patient .
