That’s pretty big for a pterosaur (pterodactyls were just one species of pterosaur, and a smaller one, with a wingspan of about a metre) and most of the bigger pterosaurs, especially including the huge ones with the 10-metre wings, were mostly fish eaters. They were also mostly covered in something close to hair. The 10-metre wingspan pterosaurs were the largest animals to be able to fly and might weigh up to a quarter ton.
Feeding a large pterosaur, or even one the size of a pterodactyl, by hand is unwise for the same reasons why feeding a tiger or a wolf by hand is unwise. If a quarter ton of hairy warm-blooded reptile-like flying death machine decides that the bald ape holding the food is part of the meal plan, changing his mind would probably involve a .450 or .470 Double Nitro Express rifle. Or a Barrett .50.
