heat the mouse up as royals sense the heat rather than smell. If it doesn't eat it try leaving it in overnight.

What age is the royal and has it eaten since you got it? What are the temps in the viv?

KeiraKai is the best person to ask on here. The queen of royals.

And welcome to the forum

He will need time to settle in as you only got him late last week. Don't worry he'll be fine even if he didn't eat for few weeks. Trying him too often will put him off eating even more.
