8 months is about where I would expect a full-size male to go off a hunger-strike (assuming no environmental conditions are out of alignment).
A lot of my adult male bps are just starting to come out of breeding mode and are eating again-however, mine usually stop around February and resume in June.

If his feeding schedule was consistent and he has not eaten since October: I would not rush thaw a rodent in the off-chance he might take one tonight. Feed him one that is frozen in the center and he might develop an immediate aversion.
Okay thank you for the quick response! I did weigh him, and he is losing a little bit of weight but not very much. Over the 7ish months it’s been about 200 grams (1660–>1445g). That makes sense that it is not a good idea to have the rats still be partially frozen and scare him from eating, but what I am wondering is there a way to be sure that the inside is not frozen at all?
