RE: Kale
Dusting a food that binds or prevents the uptake of calcium (thus making it unusable to the tort) does not fix it. Kale is one of those foods that can and should be feed to your tort perhaps not as a staple. Or everyday. Like all foods variety is the key.
Here is a site that has an expample with info for a Russian Diet
