If he won't eat the pellets and hay he might be filling up on greens first. What are his stools like?

And how much of everything are you giving now?
We space out the time when they are given pellets and greens but they have hay 24/7. Peter wouldn't touch hay when we first got him--pellets only, please. I cut way back on the amount and only gave him a small portion in the evening. In three days time he was cleaning out his manger and became very enthused about eating his hay.

then stop giving him greens.
It's important that he have a well-balanced diet and just greens doesn't cut it.
He needs also to have grains/minerals/salts. If he's only getting greens he's not getting enough to eat so I'd stop giving him his greens until he's eating what else is good for him.
Much akin to what you do with a toddler. A toddler would rather eat candy and other sweet goodies...but you can't let them as it's NOT GOOD FOR THEM. Same thing with a bun. They'd rather eat the fun stuff but you need to think about their long term health.
