My Russian tortoise Sheldon gets spring mix every day, he eats all of it and doesn’t leave a thing, should I feed him more?

I second this. Add mustard greens, collars greens, kale, ridicchio, dandelion leaf, etc. look here for more items https://www.thetortoisetable.org.uk/Definitely feed more and feed more variety. Spring mix isn’t bad to mix in with other weeds and grasses but is not meant to be a staple diet.
Over feeding can lead to overgrowth and pyramiding. In the wild tortoise find food with alot less nutritional value then supermarket brought foods. which is why they have such a long digestive system to get as much out as possible. I suggest you weigh the Tortoise and then find out how much food is needed.
