Answer
Ian I really don't know about your situation. I would look to see if you can figure out what he is afraid of. Is anything new in your house? or different?
I once had a beagle that seemed afraid to eat. He would grab food out of the bowl and run away to eat. It took a little while to figure out he was afraid of his refection in his new shine metal bowl. Needless to say I had to feed him in a plastic bowl.
