I know it fed on the 21st but when did you pick it up? Some snake really do need time to settle in and wont feed till it feels safe and secure as if they are full of food they are slow and vulnerable so they need to feel like the viv is their home!
Oh and some are just greedy and will eat anywhere and anytime! LOL
Snakes can go along time without food so you have nothing at all to worry about yet! Try warming the mouse with a hair dryer as snakes usually take warm food a lot easier!
If not just let it settle in and it will eat when ready!

It is a lot to be feeding them in 7 days. I have a six month old who takes 1 a week.
