Oh, well I think the rest of the story kind of tells why he is
eating it, and it isn't a defeciency of anykind, and
the problem will be solved shortly. I don't remember
you posting all the details before, maybe one didn't come through
about him whole and in rut,and eating the females' only.

Glad to hear it isn't anything serious, and I know you are worried,
but I doubt it will do any harm, if your vet or a vet here says it
would do harm then cage the female or the male separately.

Good luck with his surgery
