If you've only had her a week then she probably isn't settled and still scared from the big change - just leave her completely alone for a week to her to settle in, just change her water and spot clean if is needed.
after the week try her again...

and I don't think temp of the mouse is too important as long as its defrosted and wont burn the snake - although someone more experience would be better to give advise on that :)
