How long has he not been eating? I think its nothing to worry about until a few months have passed.

It could be he's just being real frisky, and is looking to mate. I really wouldn't worry too much till he's not been eating for a few months and is losing weight drastically. Seems male corns around this time of year only have one thing on their mind, and it comes before anything else, including dindins!

Try reducing to an attempted feed once every two weeks, till he's taking regularly again. He'll get over his need to mate soon enough. You say he's active, so I wouldn't worry!
