I have a few males that do the same thing. It drives me nuts. Especially when I am trying to fatten them up for hybernation. I have learned that when they are feeling finiky, If I offer a small mouse, they will usually take it.
But sometimes not even that works. So, to answer your question. I belive it is somewhat normal. Mine are six years old and have had no health issues as a result.

Happy Hogging:
