Almost all of the fish I have kept tend to "reject" food for the first week or so, but soon learn to accept it without issue.
I would just keep your feedings sparse (knowing that much may be uneaten) and be patient...Mummichogs shouldn't have too much trouble eating within a few days.

Don't worry about your mummie eating. If a mummie isn't eating, you got bigger problems!
He'll be the last fish to die, even if he doesn't eat for months, AND the tank is polluted!
Get some nice fresh blue mussels and crack one open for him. Not only should he eat, but he should get excited enough to show some hidden color. Any other fish will love it too.
Pick your own mussels off the jetties in clean water or buy the aquaculture ones in the grocery store.

I have my mummie eating now, mixing some cyclops with the blood worms has done it, it is also becoming less agressive.
