What's the normal rule of thumb of when to offer food again if it's refused the 1st time? Should you wait a week?

I had a little snafu last night where my BP was obviously hungry but I dropped the F/T when he tried to strike. Since the food was w/i striking distance, I decided to leave it thinking it would be gone in the morning (as it always is) but it was still there. I could tell the smell of the F/T was really enticing because he came out of his hide more then he usually does. The mouse got a little wet during the thawing process so there was more of a smell while I was heating it up w/ a hair dryer. I may use this 'wet' technique in the future.
