Correct me if Im wrong, but he should eat.My male ate when they mated. They mated alot before she got pregnant and he ate every night. Maybe you put her in with him too soon. Did they get aquainted first? You should probably have him looked at by the vet. They hide their symptoms for a while wehn they get sick, something might be wrong. This just doenst sound good to me if hes not eating.
Let me know a little more about whats going on.

: I just got a female glider and put her in with my male who is ready to mate. Since her arrival, I've noticed that he hasn't really been eating. they are very happy and sleep and play together a lot. I am thinking that maybe they are mating and that he doesn't eat during the mating period. that's how it is with dogs? Has anyone else noticed this with a mating pair? I'm not sure if I should worry about him or not. I would like any input anyone may have. Thank you.
