10 weeks and counting of not feeding

Basically one of my corns hasn't fed in about 10 weeks (give or take a bit) and im starting to get worried.

My female hand't fed for a few weeks aswel but i can put this down to them mating and she fed not long after laying.

Here's a bit of info that my be relevent

They are both about 3 and a half years old.
The viv they are in stays at about 80-84farenheit.
They are usually fed fully grown mouse each a week.

Would it be worth getting a live mouse and seeing if he will take that?

Any advice would be appreciated.
 
It's probably just the male springtime hunger strike. Does he look good otherwise? Is he active, or even overactive? I have one guy who started his hunger strike in January, and ate one mouse in February and one in March- that's it. So far. I just offer every two weeks. One day they just start up again! You might tempt him with a smaller than normal prey.
 
Spring time hunger strike, thats a new one to me! haha.

Yeah he is quite active and looks healthy.

The female is now eating the mouse he wouldnt eat....greedy thing ^^
 
I attempt to feed the hunger strikers, and have snakes that I know are going to eat as back up.
