Male sand boa

Is there a trick to getting the male kenyans to eat? My female eats like a pig but he will only eat a few times a month if I'm lucky. She is going to be over 200 grams in the next month and he is at 58 grams but hasn't eaten for two weeks so I don't know if he will be big enough to breed. Any ideas would be much appreciated. I only try to feed him one fuzzy once a week. Every once in awhile he will eat two fuzzies. The male and female are not housed together and he has been in the same enclosure (29 gallon) since I got him last April. The first months he ate like clock work but has tapered off the older he has gotten. Should I try with pinkies again (He has been eating fuzzies when he eats for the last 4 months?
thanks

He might have something else on his mind, if you know what I mean

how about mine? It's just a little thing, that I purchased last fall. It will only eat live pinky mice...wants nothing to do with frozen/thawed. I've tried leaving it in a paper bag w/ the f/t pink overnight, as well as a deli cup overnight. Any suggestions?

some individual animals just plain don't like f/t. I have a couple that won't take f/t and a couple that won't take anything but f/t.

Update
I got my male to eat tonight. I am not sure if he was hungry anyways but this is what I did. I put a small pinkie with him (I put him in a smaller container) he ate that after about 15 minutes. Then I added in a fuzzy which he started eating in 5 minutes.

congrats. I know what a relief it is to get a stubborn snake to eat.
