Yes it is very normal. Both are just too interested in mating and food is a second thought.
They will get back to normal once your female goes out of her heat.

Yes, extremely normal. Your dog is basically concentrating on breeding and nothing else which if you look any where in the animal kingdom you will see hat this is a very common thing. Once they are finished breeding then he should resume normal eating habits.

Yikes! Sounds like an unplanned breeding. How irresponsible! If this was a planned breeding and part of a responsible breeding program then you would not be asking this question. I could suggest what you should have done to prevent this, but any suggestion on my part could not result in being retroactive. Another litter of puppies dumped on an already over populated dog world. Dogs are going to die because of this. Maybe not your litter but dogs in shelters just a few days away from being euthanized will now not have a chance of being adopted. Your litter just pushed them over the edge.

Very normal.. Even if they weren't breeding, just her being in season would be enough for most males to give up food for a while.
