Having a real bad feeding issue.... need some help!;(

Ok so if anyone remembers an earlier post I made about a feeding technique or a good way to introduce the prey to the predator so to speak. My relic who for those who aren't familiar he is 5 foot and about 1000grams like 6 months old. He has been eating regularly for. Wile ow medium ats weekly live. So I was a little unsure about how to introduce his prey to him. I shave tried holding the rat in front of him which usually just gets him scared and defensive striking at it. I have tried just letting the rat loose in his cage but then they barly ever come in contact. For the most part he needs to be like coaxed and Annoy him before he finally gives up nd constricts then eats. So that has worked for a while but I know that this can be easier and relics are normally easy to get into feed mode. I don't know what I could be doin wrong. Does anyone have any ideas? I was thinking maybe just prekilling the rat maybe if I do hat followed by dangling the rat in front of him he won't be as scared and hell go for it? Or I was just thinking stop bothering him so much and just put the rat in and await util he does his thing. I'm just not sure and I know older more experienced keepers have to come across this kind of issue before I hope to fix this issue soon I have tried feeding him tonight medium rat but he was very defensive and annoyed. I lifted p his hide before i fed him so maybe that annoyed and distracted him I just don't kow anymore. In his 55 gallon tank he has aspen bedding, a water dish, 2 hides and a large branch. Sorry for the long post but and advice or tricks to kow wld be great thanks guys
