Probably just going off his food as the weather is cooling, and he has girls on his mind.

Yep, if he is a male, he may not eat till spring, nothing to worry about if he is in good condition.
Yes i also have a stimi that i had to move house and it put him off his food for a while then ate 1 mouse and hasnt eaten for 7 months tho ive uped temps up now to get him out of semi hybernation and hes doing same as yours , very lively but really not interested in food just yet...he will come good soon tho as still carrying good body weight and they can go 18 months without food easily so no panic just yet
