Any tips on getting my males to feed again after breeding season? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Get them as far away from the females as possible, and into a freshly-cleaned cage. They'll come around within a few weeks....

Brads advise is sound. They'll come round when they're ready. I've got a male now that hasn't eaten since November, but he's been cruisin' lately so I think he's ready.
