Is brocoli bad for torts or can they have it once in while? I have one, Thelma, that really likes it. How do you get them to eat Collard greens, they really don't like that! They do however like cactus pads.

Broccoli should only be given once in a while, no more than once a month. It as well as cauliflower, brussel sprouts, kale and spinach bind the calcium in the plant so make it unavailable to your tortoise.
You can try Romaine, Green leaf and Red leaf lettuce, Escarole, Curly Endive, Chicory and Dandelion greens. Cactus pads are also excellent.
So are weeds, like these http://forums.shelledwarriors.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=6800
