Kale sprouts?

[boxraddict]

I bought a russian tortoise, and I got lots of leafy greens including kale, endive, red and green romaine lettuces, spinach and I even got rose petals. I also picked up kale SPROUTS which I need to know if this are fine as a topping or anything?

Kale is in the brassica family and should be fed sparingly.

Oh okay. Perhaps weekly as opposed to daily? Or weekly not sparingly enough? Thanks by the way.

I would assume weekly would be ok.

The brassicas tend to cause bladder stones and goiter. Be sure to keep your tortoise very well-hydrated.
