    BP losing rat after strike

What should I do? I am making this post after attempting to feed. I attempted to feed him about 15 minutes ago and he is still searching. I usually put the rat in a bag and put in hot water for s little. Then I hair dry it. I usually feed when it is ~105° F. Any help would be appreciated.
