I suspect it was a combination of a) he knows it's a feeding tub - so he's amped up for feeding b) he was still in feed mode and c) you probably still smelled of rodent.

That paper towel trick isn't going to work when he's a full grown adult.

Try feeding him in his enclosure next time. When he's done eating, you don't have to move him, and he can calm down in his own time and have 48 hours to digest his meal!
