Pretty sure use mazuri twice a week and rest just outdoor weeds (make sure not toxic) use dark leafy greens like turnip leaves

Leaves and blooms from any squash plant, like pumpkin, cucumber, summer squash, etc...
Young spineless opuntia cactus pads

Weeds:
There are soooooooo many...
Dandelion
Mallow
Filaree
Smooth Sow thistle
Prickly Sow thistle
Milk thistle
Goat head weed
Cats ear
Nettles
Trefoil
Wild onion
Wild mustard
Wild Garlic
Clovers

Other good stuff:

Leopards eat a lot of succulents in the wild too. Spineless opuntia cactus, ice plant, red apple (the succulent ground cover)...
