It might take him a while to learn to like healthy pellets. They probably taste very different from whatever crud he's used to. He's eating something now, so IMO he's ok for the time being. His intestines won't stop and he won't get hepatic lipidosis. Besides, I thought that was more of a threat with overweight animals?
Check out health stores for flax seed. I found mine in the baking section of a Pick 'n Save grocery store by the fancy/healthy types of flour and grains. Piggly Wiggly has it too. I have no idea if you have those stores by you, but any groceries that stock some organic or "health food" stuff would be a good bet.
Edit: see if he likes leafy greens like carrot greens, cilantro, etc. Obviously start slow. They might be more tempting than pellets and can get more vitamins and such into him.
