Unresponsive hatchling

I have a hatchling African Fattail gecko which was born 2 weeks ago today(6/2/2004). Since then it has only eaten once and refuses to take any more food. I've been trying to hand feed it everyday twice a day and it refuses to take any of the crickets I've been offering it. I have been feeding all of my hatchlings 1/2" crickets. I have been trying to keep it hydrated using Pedialyte or spring water. It was eagerly taking fluids until last night where it literally turned it's nose away from it. I've even used Appetite Plus by Nature Zone. I've had success with this in the past but not with this particular gecko. I have just checked in on it and it does not look as though it may last the day. This is an appeal to any and all who may have been in the same situation asking what couse of action I should take.
Any constructive suggestions would be welcome.
