How often do Redfoots actually eat?!

Hi,

My new adult redfoot seems to be fine. It's just that I haven't witnessed him eating yet. He might do in the early morning hours when I am not around though!
Anyway, I haven't even had him a week yet, but soak him in the tub every other day for about 15 minutes to a half an hour.
I am sure he is drinking, which is good.
Also, every morning I always find a poop in his terranium. That also appears to be normal as opposed to runny or discolored.
And he is getting the natural vitamins from the sun because I've been taking him outside to roam around (the weather has been really warm lately, thank goodness).
I have offered quite a variety of foods so far: Romain lettuce, corn, canned dog food, apples, grapes, strawberries, banana, even a couple small worms.
I am awaiting the day in which I will see him open up that big mouth of his and eat from my hand.
He was really shy the first 2 days around me, but is slowly "coming out of his shell" (pun intended).
I am just curious what other methods I should try with him?

Thanks!
