Male Boa not eating, female eating fine.

This is the 3rd month in a row that my male boa has refused his rat. In the meantime the female has taken 3 without issue. He also seems to be relentlessly active, moving around the viv whenever I happen to look in on him, whereas the female is as chilled out as normal. Whenever I open the front of the viv he immediately moves to get out. The female is housed directly below him (they are in one large viv, divided horizontally into two floors and there are holes in the floor to circulate air). I'm wondering if he's trying to get to her?

I'm getting worried now. Should I be? Surely 3 months is too long not to be eating?

Can any of you suggest anything that I could do to perk up his appetite. Prior to this problem he has eaten, poo'd and shed his skin just fine.
