Anybody help?

I'm looking to convert my MBK over to rats, probably pinkies or fluffs.
Currently he attacks them like crazy and is lightning quick. Honestly he is that fast my eyes can't keep up. He then hides under water. I have tried the usual defrost with mice etc.
Both my others are on rats so would be easier to keep them all on the same.

Any suggestions? (i'm gunna sit it out as i did that with my Royal and she never misses now)

I assume if he's hiding under his water he is being fed in his viv / faun /rub. You could try feeding him out of his normal house and in a small rub and leaving the rat in with him if he doesn't take it also try covering the rub and just leaving him for a while and see what happens. I would also keep defrosting with the mice.
