Nevermind, just saw that he's around 120g. Try a medium adult mouse, he'll be fine.
His hide is perfectly tight fitting. It's a conventional cave like one, but he really seems to like it. When I pick him up to clean the cage, he occasionally sticks inside it in a ball. :]
Alright, should I try to feed him tomorrow or wait a week?
Re: Feeding Failure Update
Wait a week, and let him settle in some more. Are his hides low to the ground? I think I know what cave you're talking about and it's a bit high(like a tree stump?).

When he curls up inside it, he touches all sides (as far as I know the top as well).
Heres the picture of it.

It looks a bit high, but the rock is about half-inch thick give or take at the top. On the sides its thinner.
Re: Feeding Failure Update
Ah gotcha. Looks ok to me.
Is that your thermostat probe in the tub? If so, it's not a very safe place to put it. It needs to be secured to the heat pad(sandwiched in between heat pad and tub is best). If it gets moved or water gets spilled on it, it could easily allow the heat pad to spike and get too hot.
If it's a thermometer probe, don't mind me :)

AHA, no that was just there for example, the heat and humidity are low because I hadn't regulated it at the time, I took these before I got him in the cage.
Don't worry, the t-stat probe is in the right place as of now. :]
