    Hook question

    Kind of dumb question. Rtb roughly year old. Trying to hook train him since he is always in crazy feed mode lol. About month ago I went in to grab him after rubbing his head with the hook and he nailed me. Nothing major nor did it hurt. He is not aggressive at all outside his tank.
    Since then I don’t know why I’m skittish. When I go to grab him I pull him out with the hook now, gently, is this practice ok? I rub him 1st and gently grab him with the hook. I’m just afraid of being nailed again by him. Is this ok, or should I just grab him next time and take the strike? Not sure why he is aggressive inside his tank, it’s like he is always hungry.
    He is now on weaned rats. I feed a weaned rat every 2 weeks. Rats are around 40 grams apiece. Last time I weight him he was over 400 grams. He is growing good. I was feeding him a large mouse every 7-10 days so certainly never overfed him. Sorry about the dumb questions
