An acquaintance of mine is trying to transition their six month old Hermann to a more varied diet as they've only ever been fed mazuri. Amidst the hunger strikes this has resulted in, they're now rubbing mazuri into small chopped up amounts of new greens and weeds and starting to see good progress. Their question is: while the tortoise is still getting some mazuri every day, should they also be getting calcium powder sprinkled on the food or would this be too much calcium? She's concerned about potentially causing stones (tort is, to my knowledge, getting daily soaks and other husbandry stuff follows the forum guides with respect to humidity, lighting, substrate, etc.).
