Given the response you got I don't think it will do you much good. The fact that he went back into his hide is a sign of insecurity, the scent of a rodent in his enclosure might just stress him out seeing as how he's still not acclimated and secure in his new home. Wait a week, or a couple more days at this point and try again.
