cranky rat

Ok, as some of you know, I gave up trying f/t prey, as nothing worked. I have been using live mice. Everyone told me the pros and cons on live rats and that mice actually could cause more danger than a rat. I tried my first rat today and this is what happened....my snake struck within minutes, the rat squealed and fought a bit, my snake let go and wouldnt go near it again. He would curl up in the corner and flinch when the rat neared him. That stupid rat kept creeping up to him and biting him!! (The mice I used never acted like that). I took him out and Im taking the rat back....I know all the nutrition stuff....under- feeding stuff...money factor...etc...BUT I will never try a rat again. I will continue to use numorous mice as opposed to one rat.....Has this happened to anyone? Im sooooooo pissed. Is this normal behavior for a rat or did I get a grumpy one?
