I have had this problem many times, one of my females absolutely will NOT eat at all once she misses once. I believe i solved the problem, for me anyways. Whenever one of my bps missed, the were always aiming at me, and they hit the tub. The reason I think they do this is because the mouse/rat has cooled too much. Theyre in hunting mode, they smell it, but they do not see it. The only heat they do in fact see, is you. So they strike at the only heat they see and they smell rodent in the air and they think theyre aimed at it, but really theyre aimed at you, and they miss the mouse/rat.
