Or sometimes the mice will move and he will jump back like he is scared.
I don't know what to do.
I really would like for him to eat because he hasn't for weeks.

Any advice? Theories?
Please help...

Does he normally eat live mice? How big is he and how big is the mouse? And how long has the mouse been in with him? Sounds like he's interested since he's striking. Do you have something to keep the mouse in, in case he doesn't eat? If so, maybe keep him and try again tomorrow night?
