I agree with Mike. The tank is to large. If you can't get a smaller one you could put two or three hides in there and it would make it seem more secure to your snake, give it more places to hide  . Also, balls do sometimes take a while to acclimate to a new home. He can be safely left to himself for weeks if need be. Just change out the water when needed and clean up any feces or urates as that happens. Otherwise leave him alone. I would go a week between attempts to feed.
It's not a good idea to leave live food with a snake overnight. They can do great damage, even a mouse. I wouldn't worry about a mouse hiding from him either. If he were hungry he'd hunt it down no matter where it was . Good luck and be patient.
