Could Kodo be dealing with a gastric ulcer? Are there any occurances of very dark or tarry stools? Look at a ferret wrong and they get an ulcer, so I wonder if that could be part of the problem here.

Are you feeding him only chicken baby food or that in addition to his kibble? Maybe it would be beneficial to stick with just baby food. It's bland and easy on the tummy, unlike kibble. And it's good nutrition for short periods of time, though "short" could even be a couple months without a problem.
