That sounds gross. I just looked up vegetables with calcium in them and found that turnip greens and collard greens, chicory greens contain calcium. Collard greens are the second highest in calcium on the list. Chicory greens and dandelion greens are pretty high, too. Mustard spinach was the highest, but I am pretty sure that you aren't supposed to give a tortoise spinach. In addition to these, you really should sprinkle a calcium suplement with vitamin D3 on the vegetables. You can find this at any petstore. Someone said that some tortoises prefer you to soak the cuttlebone overnight.
This is where I found the calcium information. I am not really sure how to do a link so I am going to write it here, too. Just in case. :)
