kitten won't eat

Hi,  I also posted this on a.c.

I've just got a new kitten who's 10 weeks old and really cute. Yesterday
was his first day at home and he was extremely loath to eat anything in
the morning and seemed really lethargic.  In the afternoon however he
perked up and played with a ball and ate some (not that much) food.  He
weighs 16 oz which is very low for his breed (Bengal) at 10 weeks and I
understand from the breeder that he was off his food for a while,  she
assured me that he'll make the weight back up though.

So my questions are:  is normal for a kitten to not be hungry in the
mornings ?  And what can I do to tempt him into eating more ?

This morning I already tried varying the food from dried kitten Whiskas,
 tinned adult Whiskas,  kitten Whiskas pouches,  tinned red salmon,
tinned tuna,  fresh (raw) chopped chicken,  fresh (raw) chopped beef. He
wasn't tempted by anything on this list today although yesterday he
tried a bit of each and in the afternoon had a reasonable amount of
several of them.

Am I being paranoid about this because it seems as if he's just not
hungry ?

Any ideas about how to interest his palate would be gratefully received,
 I'm in the UK when it comes to brand names etc.

Thanks,

Kittens normally eat food very frequently and have a good appetite. I would
have him see a vet.
