Many animals have a hard time "calming" down after a feeding response is triggered, its best to leave them alone while they are feeding. If you feed in a seperate container (which is what it looks like your doing) just let him hang out there for awhile afterwords. Im betting if you give him a half hour after he eats hell be just fine.

He might feel a little bit intimidated eating in that clear deli cup (although it doesn't seem to have affected his appetite! lol) and that might be why he was snapping at you. I don't know if you took him out of his cage just to feed him, but maybe if you left him in there to eat, he'd feel more secure and be less nippy.
Good luck with him and thanks for sharing!

I dont feed him in his cage because he has aspen bedding in it and i dont want him to swallow it.
