It’s difficult not to worry I know but thanks for the update.
I’ve never experienced this with any of my males so that’s a new one for me. I’ve experienced females losing their appetite when gravid but never a male when he’s looking for some female company. We live and learn.
Really hope he starts to eat more regularly soon for you.
Checking for parasites is always an idea if only to eliminate it.
