2 year old Panther not eating for 2-3 weeks

Hi, so I adopted a roughly 2 year old Panther Chameleon which I have been taking care of for the past few months.

He ate regularly up until 3-4 weeks ago a diet of primarily silks, supers, crickets with the odd horn worm so he can't be bored of his diet with that variety.

Rango is incredibly friendly and social and I'd always trying to climb on me and be handled. This has been helpful because I have been trying to hand fees him some worms via gently opening his mouth. It worked the first few time but the past week he has eaten absolutely nothing.

I believe he was impacted since it was recommended I soak him in warm water to possibly help him pass any blockage which happened the day after the soaking and he passed a urate which was not very white and then 2 separate fecal sacs.

This was 2 days ago, I had hoped he would start eating again but still nothing.

I'm thinking of resorting to a plastic syringe with baby food as this worked with my fat tailed gecko when was afraid of eating crickets.

any suggestions on a type of baby food ?
 
Does he eat superworms and nothing else? This can be resolved by stopping superworms and only feeding other stuff for a while, until he begins eating.

If not, be sure to keep him hydrated, and I wouldn't go as far as to feed him baby food just yet...
