just leave an all the way dead pre killed prey item by the entrance of its burrow over night if its hungry it will eat remove the next day if it doesnt i do that with mine since it only wants to eat every 2 weeks rather than weekly like the rest of my ts

Is the burrow open? Do you keep the substrate dry or moist?

Two weeks is nothing.
Do as kingshockey suggested once a week or so until it takes it or try live in another two.
These guys can test your patience but the rewards are great.

Not surprised, normal for many. Suggest you read up on on T husbandry and behavior more than you have.
