Welcome to the forum, Sam!

Try to find edible weeds and grasses outside. This is what he should be eating.

If you post a picture of the underside of the tortoise including the tail we may be able to tell you male or female.

Hello and a very warm welcome to Tortoise Forum to you and your Star.
Photo needed for identification of sex, the underside of the tail area.
For foods, see just underneath your other post and http://www.tortoiseforum.org/thread...-star-owners-in-india-from-an-amateur.118815/ which has a good pdf of foods you can offer.
Don't worry about not pooing or peeing if it's only been a couple of days. warm soaks may help him do so.
As long as he has food available, he will eat when he wants. If he eats a lot once a day, that's ok.
