Is anything worn down in the cage that he could potentially be catching his whiskers on? I'd run your hand along everything in there just to make sure he's not snagging them on anything rough or sharp.

Is there any hair loss around his nose besides the whiskers? He could have the start of fungus. Check his cage, they an rub off whiskers on a lot of things (bars, houses, ledges....). They will grow back but it does take time epending on why he lost them.
