Males wont eat

I've not got a big collection, just two males and three females. For the last couple months or so the males won't eat, and they keep dumping their water bowls. I've not started breeding them yet, planning on starting next fall. I keep them all in the same rack(different tubs of course). Temps and humidity are good. The females are all still eating good. They're both about 2 years old. Should I buy a different rack for the males? Just curious if this is natural this time of year?

At that age considering it is winter , and the fact that they are sexually mature, yes it is quite normal.

One thing I have done over the years to try to keep my males eating is to keep them in smaller than usual tubs when not paired.

Alright, thanks for the input. I knew females would stop sometimes around breeding season, but didn't know males would.
