I got this from someone I exchange email with (Jim Harding):
Most of my info on this has come from research on true tortoises. How a box turtle compares is an unknown, since they don't often eat a lot of greens. Basically for tortoises we avoid foods high in purines (wheat, other grains, corn), limit those high in oxalic acid likely to bind calcium (spinach, etc.) and limit goiterogens (cruciferous veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, collards, kale). Basically a little of any nutritious food is unlikely to cause problems; just don't want to over-do it on any one thing.
Wondered what you folks thought.
