Maybe he is just picky... LOL!

It could be several things.
How long after you took him home did you try to feed him? How long was it between you offering the rat and the rat pups?
If you tried to feed him as soon as you got him home or just a day or two after, he could have been stressed and needed to be left alone to settled for while.
If he got the head and then spat it out, maybe he was disturbed by something (?). When I first got mine, a small movement would make her back away from the food and if she was already eating, she would just stop until she was satisfied that it was safe to continue.
I don't think that there was something wrong with the food itself otherwise he wouldn't have attempted to eat it.
