They will be in full "hunting" mode at night, especially with a drop in temperature, but they will eat at any time of the day regardless. Snakes are opportunistic feeders, if they have access to a rodent any time of day they will take it.
I would get him switched over to f/t immediately and be patient when trying to feed him. I'm a huge fan of not feeding live when it can be avoided because it is possible that you end up with an animal that will ONLY take live after a while. Never leave live rodents unattended around your snake though, you don't want to see the pictures of what can happen. I know you feed pups but still....it's just not something you want to do.
