Males in my experience aren't like females in that breeding them will get them eating again.
It's usually quite the opposite.

^ this. I started breeding my male at 500g but he was eating rats like they were going out of style. The moment he stops eating, he's getting pulled.

I'd not pair and double check husbandry and see if you can't get him eating again.
