Sometimes new snakes can take a while to get going. I wouldn't sweat one missed meal. Are your temps dialed in? I'd start there. If he started eating the mouse and then disengaged the feeder could be too big but a small mouse shouldn't be too large for a 223g BP. Do you have a pic of the snake you can share? I'd also suggest not handling the snake until he's eaten 2-3 times for you and only offer food every 10-14 days until he starts to eat consistently.
