He had it in there for about twenty minutes and I went off to do some cleaning up and I came back in about half an hour and he was half way done with eating it. Ten minutes after that the mouse was nowhere to be seen. He stayed in his hide the entire time he ate though. It was odd. It took him awhile to actually go after the mouse, and I scented the room for about 45 minutes prior to putting the mouse in the cage. Well, the important part is that he ate. YAY. now I can give him a good week to digest and hide. ^_^
