Can Flash eat fig?

[MnM10]

So I know it's best not to feed torts the actual fruit. But I was wondering if it would be ok to feed Flash the fig leaves?

He he is eating a piece of one of his lettuce leaves... I think the pic uploaded lol

We have a fig tree and occasionaly my tortoise will eat the fruit. I have never seen him eat the leaves.

Mine eat figs and sometimes get leaves in the process (they are plucking them right off the tree) and we have had no issues arise. Fig leaves have a milky sap in them and taste terrible; I do not think your tortoise will enjoy them. I don't find them to be harmful, but not a favorite food here by any means!
