My 3-4 yr old male royal 1200g has fed every week since I got him in july and struck the food

I didn;t feed him last week so it had been two weeks. I have got two small rats over last two days nothing odd there and he has just ignored both, he isn;t due to shed and I;m just concerned why hes gone off his food?

Time of year, other things on his mind. I have 2 adult males that haven't eaten in 2010 yet.

Just offer every couple of weeks and weigh to check for weight loss if he refuses.
