At a year and a half old, the mouse is probably a small enough prey item to him that it's not an issue to eat it sideways. My younger female tries to eat her rats sideways too, but usually gives up and goes for the head.
You could try Melindaste's suggestion with the tongs but upping the prey size could work too.
Good luck!
