Sheldon’s Mama

Hi friends.
I am (unfortunately) linked to a Reddit page Re tortoise care. A girl posted a question Re her tortoise and all these people jumped in with advice. I won’t go into too much detail, but I’m mad because they are telling her to feed her tortoise spinach. They also said it was okay to feed it cauliflower and broccoli, along with tomatoes and strawberries.
I was under the impression that all of those were not considered healthy foods for a tortoise. I know, Tom’s post Re do’s and dont’s, but am I crazy? Aren’t all of those considered “unhealthy choices” for a Russian tortoise?
I literally just looked up if a Russian could have cauliflower cos i happened to have some and everything i read specifically said NO!
Please advise. Thank you!

PS. Sheldon is going is great! He actually doesn’t mind being held and he LIKES having his head pet! (I just found that out yesterday 😂)
