Third! My female never really strikes anymore, I leave it in and give it a few hours and it probably will be gone.

i'd warm up a cup of water and try to heat the mouse up a little more. My ball can be picky about the temp of the mouse sometimes and that always does the trick.

One of ours did that the first feed with her... warmed up and everything. She never ate it, but then the next week was just fine. If your BP is new to the house, it may just need more time to adapt. Leave the mouse in overnight... if it doesn't disappear then personally I would take it out and try feeding again a few days later.

I would feed live to get her eating a couple times with you the try frozen/thawed! Leave it in overnight, if she doesn't take it then wait a week before trying again. If you try too often then that can cause stress and send her off feed! Good luck!
