Grapes!!! The leaves are a great food source.

I thought grapes but don't they need clay soil and get HUGE? We have clay here and you cannot imagine the size of our vines and the leaves are bigger then my hand.

Thank you All! I thought of doing sweet potato vines however, I found out the leaves aren't good for them throwing that thought out the window.

Good call on no doing something poisonous to your tortoise. I'd go with grapes. Just remember as the fruit ripens, try to keep it from your tortoise.
