I don't leave food lying around in bowls for too long but it may just be that you're giving more than he needs, how much & how often do you feed him?
They don't generally eat much more than about a teaspoonful a day so as long as he has enough in his hoard (not a huge amount but they should have a reasonable size hoard at all times) you can just put enough in the bowl or scatter for a few days before topping up again.
