Read the care-sheet. Grocery store foods in general do not possess enough fiber nor calcium needed in the tortoise's diet. Most of options found in grocery store greens are not only useless watery but can also contain harmful substances that when eaten in excess, through accumulation of eating the same family type greens over and over, can cause severe health issues in tortoises. For example; kale, spinach, mustard greens, collards, all of them belong in the same category of foods that possess these types of harmful substances. This is members warn others to not consistently feed the same type of foods.
Search this. What's in that leaf, grocery and garden, published nutrient list.
