I was a little hesitant last week because I removed one of his hides and didn't put it back until the next morning for fear of disturbing feeding time. That morning, he was tucked under the lone hide so it was fine.
Do you have any mice left. A tip for the transition is to take a mouse and rub it against the rat to blend the scents. That way your beep will recognize a familiar scent on the new prey (works when converting larger boas and pythons to rabbits, rub the rabbit with the rat). If he doesn't like eating in front of you i wouldn't bother moving the hide. I also wouldn't handle untill he ate two consecutive rats.
