Question about feeding...

I know that tortoises need variation when it comes to what to feed them, but what i'm not sure of is since my russian is still pretty small, he doesnt eat that much, so should I give him, for example, only one leaf per plant and give him a couple different leaves ex., one piece of romaine lettuce, one piece of collard green, one piece of dandelion, etc... in one feeding or like a few pieces of only one type of plant a day, but a different one each day like, for example, a couple pieces of collard greens one day, and the next day some romaine lettuce, and the next day dandelion, etc...

I hope this doesnt confuse anyone, but i'm not that sure on what to do, so to clarify, should i:

1) feed him one piece of a couple of different vegetables each day

or...

2) feed him a couple pieces of one vegetable and give him a different vegetable each day

I hope you can help :)
