I'd start him on small mice. You need something quite near the size he's used to just to start with - that way you're less likely to get a refusal.
Just offer one. Once you're confident that he's reliably eating one small mouse a week, you can offer one medium mouse. When he's established on them, then go to one large mouse every week to ten days.
It might take his digestive system a few weeks to "gear up" to dealing with mice, as fuzzies don't have as much fur. Patience will work wonders at this stage.
As he's a new arrival, remember to leave him completely alone for the first week while he gets used to the new smells and sounds around him. Again, this will make him more relaxed and less likely to refuse food. As long as he's healthy, departing from his established feeding routine while he settles in, will do no harm.
