Suggested meals and safe yummy plants?

[CannibalTort]

So I feed my red footed tortoise a main green leaf diet- he gets winter squash pretty often, when I can get my hands on it, as well as tomatoes and mushrooms every so often. I was wondering if there was another diet I could swap and switch it up every so often for him. I was also wondering if there was any good safe plants he could eat as a treat, he gets hibiscus flowers sometime when they bloom outside but that's kinda it.
