Feeding problems

I've been having trouble with my albino Honduran not eating. He ate well the first 3 weeks then he regurgitated, probably because I fed a larger mouse than he was used to. So I waited a few days and fed him a hopper. After that he showed no interest in food. I bought him from a breeder so I think he was brumated before I got him. I know males go off food during mating season so I weighed him every week to make sure he wasn't loosing to much weight. He lost 16 grams through the 7 missed feedings. He finally ate a hopper a weeks ago, but refused to eat again this week. He only comes out once or twice a week to drink and almost never sits in the warm area of the enclosure. I have been putting him in a separate enclosure to eat lately because he wont come out when I put food in for him. What should I do at this point?

Enclosure specs:
  • 30 gal wide
  • Reptibark bedding
  • UTH on thermostat set for 77*F
  • Cardboard hides
Dates fed:
  • regurgitated 4/7
  • successful feed 4/10
  • didn't eat but offered mouse weekly
  • successful feed 6/20
  • Unsuccessful feed 7/2
