Borneo STP striking glass during feeding...

[Craiga 01453]

I have a suggestion that haven’t been said but only have balls so idk if it would help. But maybe prep the food outside his room and walk in and feed him first. I’ve noticed my balls take a few minutes of the rat being in the room to wake up and start getting ready. So I’d walk in and feed as quick as I could then go about your normal routine??

That's what I do. But as soon as I approach his enclosure he's ready to strike. I reach to slide the glass open and he strikes. He hits pretty hard too.
I just don't want him getting hurt.
