Wash the mouse with a little soap to get the smell of it, and then try scenting with a little chicken fat, fish or skink.
You still may have to assist feed for a while yet.
 
How old is it?

Try scenting with a range of different things such as skink. Quail and chicken is worth a try too. If he's not losing condition, I would not assist feed for a couple of weeks and then try to feed it using the methods described.

I guess you're just going to have to try and re-try everything, be persistent and cross your fingers.
