The white stuff is urates. Also you might be giving him too much flowers I think they count as sort of a fruit though I have to go check that info again because I cant remember for sure right now.

Pansies have a gentle sweet taste...so I would not blame the tort for wanting to eat em up....and remember, you can feed a tortoise a food item in waves....like let the tort gorge on the flowers for a few days in a row--then offer up a different rotation...also, don't forget the leaves of the flower---roses are another fantastic gorging and yummy food....:D

Just make sure your goods are free from any sprays...dandelions are another fantastic food to make an appearance in the food offerings...it is one of the most perfect foods for a tortoise....and people too....it is funny, if you allow the tort to satisfy its appetite for the dandi...you may see the tort swoosh away and find a good spot to lay out in....likely it is the "drunk" they get from it....
