I never offer anything bigger than 55 grams rats to my males and they pretty much eat year round at least fir mist if them.

Remember when breeding season is here it's not unusual for mature males to go off feed which is why it's very important to monitor them closely and pull them out of rotation if necessary if they lose too much weight during breeding season.

Well said! My mature male spider was very plump in the beginning when I first started placing him back and forth between the 2 females, and as I pulled him out for a rest from one female to the other I would offer him a meal and for awhile he was eating then he stopped. Once he stopped he was still locking with the 2 females and I noticed the weight dropping off him. Had I not monitored and pulled him when I did there could have been problems.

I now have him started on another breeding project with only one female and he is eating mice steadily so lets see how long it lasts
