Make sure his new habitat has plenty of places for him to hide (even if it's just under crumbled paper). It sounds like he's not comfortable in his new surroundings. Make sure the worms you offer are nightcrawlers... not red worms or red wigglers (same thing, different names). Once he's more comfortable, try gently blowing air toward his head. He might flick out his tongue to check out the new scent. He has to feel comfortable, first.
