well first off you are supposed to quarantine new animals for at least 60days, 90 is better to make sure they arent sick because now if he has any diseases or ilnesses you are putting your female in danger! sometimes you cant tell if they are sick until a few months. ok so the black paper was a good idea and i recomend you get another tank and do the same thing except with the male by himself. you also should make sure you have several hides. leave him alone in the dark for like 24 hours so he can feel comfortable exploring and then he will know where to hide instead of cowering in the corner. then you can let him have a heat light or whatever it is you use or just window/room light. then at night try feeding him again like 5 crickets. see if this works. it may take a few days though but shouldnt take longer then a week. try not to handle him at all unless you need to. good luck. by the way are you sure they are male and female?
