when I first got Oscar he turned his nose up at veg, don't think he had ever seen it before I just kept putting it in everyday and slowly when I was not there he started trying it.. now he comes running over in the morning for his greens. Good luck.

How about trying coriander or dill - mine go mad for them!
Fresh grass (in small quantities at first), dandelion or fresh herbs may get him to eat. The poor baby has obviously not been able to learn from his mum what is safe to eat as there were no veg, so it is a much more difficult process.
In the medium term, there is nothing like another piggy to get the appetite going!

Thanks for the help guys grass is a big hit and he also munched his first baby carrot : )
Be careful not to feed too much at first; his guts are not used to fresh food and he can get diarrhoea very easily. if that happens, please take him off fresh food asap for a day or too until his poo has been firm again for 24 hours.
