It may not be much of an issue that he has eaten although it could be a problem. You'll need to keep an eye on him and monitor his health closely to see how he behaves. The striking is probably hunting mode being triggered(possibly enough of rodent family around to keep him interested). It sounds as though you are housing two ball pythons together so until you are certain the escapee is fine you should probably separate them. That's just my two cents.
