Why are you doing either of those?
You don't need to remove the hide, and you don't need to dangle a live rat in front of your snake.
I'd put everything back, leave him for a week, then try another live feeding, but this time don't take stuff out or rearrange anything, and definitely don't dangle the live food in front of your snake. Just put the rodent in the enclosure. Your snake knows what to do if he's hungry and comfortable.
