More active than normal

My two adult males have been very active as well... they are so annoying this time of year! They constantly make a mess tipping water bowls and having me have to change bedding/spot clean every time.. which is at least once a day! And they are constantly trying to escape their enclosures .. I've caught them in the act a few times and have been lucky so far that neither of them have actually fully escaped yet! They are both in a tub/rack system so I can't put locks on their enclosures and it's very frustrating because I'm worried they will get out eventually!
 
Oh and my female adult Anery is not been feeding for the past 34 days and feels like she is full of eggs although I have not put her with a male this year!

yeah... I would try giving him a couple of weeks.

I agree with Justine. Give him a week or two and try again. Two weeks is nothing for a healthy male, and I've read on here that this is quite typical of male behavior during spring. Just make sure he has fresh water and watch his behavior. If he appears to calm down and relax in his viv, I would go ahead and try feeding him. Otherwise, a few weeks won't hurt.
I'm not sure about females getting antsy for mating season as much males, but if she is being abnormally active and going off food, I would question if she is a he.

On the upside, mine has gone 5weeks without eating when spring started. When I read up on them I found that they can go a couple of months without food depending on the time of year.

At times he even stays in his hide for 6 to 8 day at a time. I never bother him when he's there and he is always come out eventually.

I feed mine once a week but never force feed him, meaning I only handle him or feed him when he is out of his hide.

What I have found is sticking them out side in full sun light on a nice hot day makes him lively and hungry. My kids sit there for hours watching him.

Don't worry yourself as he will eat when he is hungry that is for sure.
