I looked at your photos and this is the red, correct?
Does he have a UVB source? Are basking temps reaching 110-115?
What exactly is he eating during a week?
During a week's time, he should be eating every day, as much as he wants, until he reaches full size. I feed my tegus raw eggs and don't have a problem with it, but it is not a staple. In your case, if he eats raw egg, I would use it to get him to eat other food. Try F/T fuzzy mice dipped in egg. Make small ground turkey meatballs dipped in egg. Add calcium to everything without bones.
I don't think the issue is that the tegu can't find his food, but just isn't interested. Perhaps it is seasonal as well.
