A few days back I started giving Fred Mazuri and now he won't eat his greens, at all. What should I do.

At least he likes it 
Ok first question, are you giving it to him everyday? If so don't, once or twice a week is all that is needed.
If you're not and just gave him a big pile, if he ate it all he could still be full the next day.
I have given Optimus Prime too much a few times and the next day she barely eats.

At first my leopard wouldn’t touch the stuff. Now she loves it. Overtime I’ve gone from making a giant salad with a sprinkle of mazuri to just getting her variety by giving her something different each day. I do mazuri 2-3 days a week. Most often it’s probably 1-2. This honestly depends on work schedule. 1-2 days I do romaine with a food topper. Most days I also put cactus pads down for her. Other days I do orchard grass and a bunch of various leaves and flowers. I’ve begun changing it up so she doesn’t ever know what to expect. Most often she eats and sometimes she skips a day or two. I don’t read into it, I just assume she wasn’t hungry that day.

I've been giving it to Fred for the last 3 or 4 days. I gave him about 6 or 7.

Omg all of you on this forum have so many different things to feed them. I get really overwhelmed.

It’s a process. Nothing to get overwhelmed about. Find a list here that is safe and figure out what’s easiest for you to get right now. Once you’re comfortable with that routine you can start to add in more variety.
I recommend tortoise topper. I’ll link it for you. If you feed grocery store greens just sprinkle it on to ensure your tortoise is getting the essentials it needs. Continue to feed mazuri a few days a week. As the tortoise gets bigger see if you can get some orchard grass. Take a pinch and cut it up into tiny pieces with a pair of scissors. Soak it and add it to your greens and even the mazuri. Over time you can increase the balance and get your tortoise on primarily grass diet and then just add the other things in at random for a good variety. You’ve got this!

Mix greens with Mazuri.
