Possibly but im not sure you would have to weight for one of the more experienced members to be sure about the brumation but if he hasn't been losing weight its most probably natural reasons why he isn't eating.

Did you brumate him, or did it self brumate?
It could be the reason that he's not eating, if you can give us a bit more info about how his temps have been over the past couple months that might give a better idea.
Is it definitely male?

The warm end is runnig at approx 28.8 coold end about 22. He was probed when i bought him and was sexed as a male. Back end of December begining of Jan temps where about 26.5-27.6. I think he may have burmated himself but i got a feeling i may ave had something to do with it with temps been 26.5-27.5 had no intention of doing that if that is what i have done.
