It's resorted to this...

Idk what to do anymore! I placed a scented weaned rat right in front of him he took two defensive strikes and that was it!! He was smelling the rat seemed so untested and NOTHING last meal was from his breaded and it was 1 fuzzy on June 10th I have given him two weeks hands off in his new enclosure I just dunno what else to do. I have offered him live, f/t, offered it in his enclosure out of his Enclosure and left a f/t fuzzy over night. I was told to place him in a paper bag or box but I was not told for how long... Can I leave him here overnight

No. Do not leave him outside of the enclosure overnight. There will not be a heat source for him. The paper bag thing may work. But, only do it for an hour or so.

What I would do is cover each side and the back of his tank, some bps can get stressed out easily if they don't feel secure enough. If you cover the tank leave him a week without handling then try him with food and he might start feeding again

If you do the paper bag thing, it might be good to do it IN his enclosure. That way things mostly smell like what he's used to, and you don't have to worry about him possibly escaping (I don't trust paper bags... just so flimsy). Still only leave him for about an hour so he can get out and thermoregulate though.

Crumple up some news paper and clutter up his enclosure a bit. Give him a few days to get comfy then toss a live mouse hopper in there.
