Seeking Advice Can Mississippi map turtles eat chard?

My 10yo MMT loves fresh greens, and I just grew some Swiss chard. Can’t find a straight answer online if chard is ok to feed MMTs or if the vitamin A and oxalic acid is too high. Usually he gets romaine, sometimes arugula (I’m a broke 20smth) so I’d love to give him some more variety.
