Feeding Problems

for the past 3 days my bp has been verry active and rarely ever in his hide so i thought he was hungry and thawed out a rat pup for him but when i put it in he bit at me and i dropped the rat from the tongs, and when i picked the rat up i wiggled it near him and his toung started going nuts and he struck at it but he didnt wrap around it he just grabbed it and threw it against the wall and now the rats just sitting on the ground in his tank and i dont know if it should try to give him the ratt again or just take it out and feed him in a few days?

Try to leave the rat in his tank first and turn of the lights.

I agree. Just leave the rat in with him over night and don't disturb him. He may eat it later. If the rat is still there in the morning, just toss it and try again next week. And in the meantime make sure all of your temps and humidity are still good...
