If you're giving him "pellets," which are usually composed of alfalfa, then you should STOP. Mice cannot digest alfalfa and generally refuse to eat it. Also, orange can cause diarrhea, as well as any other fresh fruit/veggie in excess.
What you need to do is buy a good mix of food, not the shit they sell at Walmart. It shouldn't have alfalfa pellets. Look for oat groats, millet, corn & peanuts (although both CAN be allergens and are high fat, so watch out) barley, and other whole some grains. You could also purchase "lab block" which is compressed, small blocks that are 100% nutritonally balanced (Look for Mazuri or Harlan Teklad). You could try also offering it low-sugar cereal such as bran flakes and cheerios, and oatmeal (rolled), he should love those ;)!
