Meh so so lol first time I fed him he was lethal he made me jump so bad but next few times I got used to it, he's so finicky when eating takes me so long to convince him to have a meal and sometimes he just turns away and sods off it's defrosting in the fridge now so will have a try of a different heating method maybe tonight? Any tips?

Well there are loads of different ways but this one works for me .
Virtually guaranteed in my experience - if he's at all interested ...
This method WORKS if done properly ...
I wait until evening as they're nocturnal of course . I let the rodent thaw out in the reptile room so they get the smell .. Then put a couple of pieces of card over the substrate ....
Then I warm up the mouse / rat with a hairdryer and offer with tongs IMMEDIATELY whilst still warm . If refused simply repeat the heating and offering as many times as needed. .
A couple of mine will only strike feed from within their hides so I dangle the warm rodent in front of the hide's entrance - usually works but if it fails simply reheat the rodent with a hairdryer and immediately offer again whilst it's still warm , continue until it's grabbed ...
I always wait until evenings to feed as they're nocturnal of course .

Incidentally , if it shows no interest at all not even a tongue flicker maybe it's best to leave for a week or so.
