Lena you may want to back him down to younger rats with little to no erupted teeth until he's a bit more used to live rat hunting. Even if he has to take multiples of those it will, I would think, help him gain the experience to make him a more confident and therefore safer hunter. Keep a close eye on those bites to make sure that the wounds don't close trapping infection inside. I don't know what type of bedding you use but I'd probably put him on plain white paper towels until you are certain he's fully and properly healed (that way you can monitor any discharge from the wounds easily plus it won't allow any loose bedding to irritate the wounds or absorb any topical meds you apply).
