He might be a bit stressed out from the move and not want to eat. I agree with everyone else, it is probably best to switch him over to f/t food so you don't have to worry about him getting chewed up. Even if he strikes and constricts immediately, it might still bite him. I have a female who is all scarred from being fed live in her past. They switch over to dead food very easily. I feed in the cages, so it is up to you if you want to keep feeding him in the cage or if you want to feed in a separate area. When you feed in the cage you do risk them ingesting their bedding, I've found that keeping the mice really dry helps keep bedding off of them. I thaw my mice out in water and then dry them off with a special "mouse" towel lol.
