hhh but i have heard that it interfres with there calcuim so do i need to dust it with suppliment?

Dusting a food that binds or prevents the uptake of calcium (thus making it unusable to the tort) does not fix it. Kale is one of those foods that can and should be feed to your tort perhaps not as a staple. Or everyday. Like all foods variety is the key.
