A couple things....

I have a couple balls that hiss like crazy and even strike sometimes if they are in their enclosure. What I do is I take a plastic waterbottle and put it on their head gently to block their sight and then take them out. The second they are out of their cage, they are completely calm. Many are just cage agressive sometimes and sometimes not.

Also, if it's an adult, you are not feeding it enough. An adult ball on mice should be getting at least 2-3 mice a week. Oh and don't put both mice in at the same time. Your snake could get hurt easier that way.
