Jumping spider kills but doesn’t eat prey

[Spoodtay]

We have a male regal we got in May and since, he’s molted 4 times. He went through a strike a couple months ago for about 1-2 weeks, but he would completely ignore the prey in his enclosure. Since then he has ate each time offered, no problem.
This time he will kill it quickly, but drops its shortly after. If we try to move it closer to him, he will pick it up and move it away. He’s taking water, just not eating like normal. We’ve tried 3 different size crickets and a meal worm at this point.
Any advice is appreciated!
First photo is when we picked him up and the other is today offering a very tiny cricket. His belly is looking thin and making us worried.

Mature males generally lose interest in food.

So does that mean he’ll eventually finish a meal or should we be worried? Definitely haven’t had a problem with our girls. He doesn’t even keep hold of the prey more than a minute possible two.

Nothing you can do. Idk about jumping spiders, but male tarantulas tend to lose interest in food closer to the end of their life. If he wants to eat he will, if not you cannot do anything that will make him.

We know they have short lifespans just trying to see if others experienced similar and it might be a phase. I get there’s no real help we can offer, but he’s probably around 11 months old now, we are just hoping to have more time with him, thanks for the input we appreciate it.

Sadly males don't live anywhere near as long.
