I'm would add a dripper to give him more opportunity to drink.

Have you offered him things like a thin slice of sweet red pepper or a thin slice if apple? It might help.

Can you post a photo of the plants in his cage please?

Thank you for your prompt anwser!!!
1.i'm using dripper (A drop of 3~6 seconds)
2.i'll try it soon (why sweet red pepper? why apple? I want to know!!)
2-1.If he doesn't feed himself, should he do Force Feeding?
3.I'll go home and upload it(plant name - scindapsus, devil's ivy)

You said..."i'm using dripper (A drop of 3~6 seconds)" ...I would make it drip a little faster.
You said..."i'll try it soon (why sweet red pepper? why apple? I want to know!!)"...I picked two things that they usually like a lot so he might eat them. If he doesn't take it when you touch the end of the piece on his lip then when he's opening and shutting his mouth slip the end of it between his teeth somhe bites it. Also while he's chewing the pepper or apple you can slip a cricket/insect between his teeth and he might eat that too.
You said..."if he doesn't feed himself, should he do Force Feeding?"...that should be a last option. It's hard on them. If the sweet pepper or apple doesnt work then I would try putting a drop of baby food on the tip of his lip to see if he'll take that.
You said.."I'll go home and upload it(plant name - scindapsus, devil's ivy)"...if it's this o e it's fine...

Did he actually consume the apple?

I highly recommend giving him some cover in the form of live plants. Not only will that provide him a place to hide, he will also eat them and they will provide humidity and a temperature gradient. He may be too stressed to eat. He may also be too hot.

yes
but he didn't eat autonomously.
I gave it to his mouth. It seemed like eating delicious food.
