i think she meant if you can feel a hard ball inside the mouse then it's insides aren't defrosted yet so leave it a little longer

Hope he keeps it down, I would have agreed with the above and left for a week to settle in.

Don't handle for 48 hours now to allow the snake to digest.

Corns are quite hardy, so hopefully he'll be fine. If they do regurge though its best to give them 10 days to recover before feeding again.
