There are many ways to kill a mouse humanely - do some research on this site and I'm sure you'll find the most suitable method for you.

Once you get your snake feeding on freshly killed mice, you might be able to coax him into eating freshly defrosted.

Good luck.

BTW, the mouse looks small enough for a snake the size of yours.

Look and learn! we all make mistakes its only wrong if we dont learn from them, try the above and you might be surprised to know that he will take dead prey.
Good luck
