New red foot not eating....

He's 7" straight line. I bought him 11 days ago and all he's eaten is a piece of papaya the size of a red seedles grape, half a button mushroom and some cat feces (no, I did not feed him the feces. He found them while roaming in the yard.) When I bought him he looked great. Active, eyes looked good, no labored breathing, shell looked fine. He's still looks great, but is not eating. The store I got him at didn't know if he was C.B or W.C. He does have a blue and white metallic sticker glued to his plastron. Maybe that'll help to determine where he's from.
I've been soaking him every other day and I make sure he has clean drinking water daily. I've tried feeding him. Papaya, banana, strawberries, guava, grapes, mango, pumpkin, zuchini, romane, kale, mazuri (dry and moist), hibiscus (flowers and leaves), potatoe, dog food, earth worms, and different pasture grasses.
I'm getting really worried. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading such a long post.

Oh yeah. He lives in Hawaii. Temp is 70-80 F, humidity is 70-80%.
