I personally have never had a mouse try to hurt my snakes but of course they still can and do. If he won't take it get a small box with a lid, a bowl of water and some peanut butter. Wait a few days (? Not sure what's recommended) and try again. If it's a fail then you may have to head to the vet. As others have said, babies can't fast like adults.
