Hi, welcome to the forum
Poor little miteIt's understandable that he is frightened. Was he being kept in the dark under the stairs? Was the muesli what he has been fed on up until now?
Personally I wouldn't attempt to change his diet until he has settled. I would also give him a cardboard box, so that he can hide in it and feel a bit safer, if he wants to. I would keep the hay with him and give him the same amount of muesli each day.
When you consider that he feels a bit more OK with you, then I would start to change his diet, but I would do it very, very slowly. It might take a while before he starts to nibble at the hay. When introducing new foods, such as fresh herbs, just give him one sort at a time and monitor any effects. If you are going to change him over to a pellet food, this must be done very slowly as well. Start off by replacing some of the muesli with pellets and gradually increase them until he's just having pellets.
I hope he soon settles. I would monitor his output closely as well as obviously checking that he is eating.
