Usually mixing it up is a lot better for them, if every week you do a different combination of greens it will benefit your tort health wise.
I'll give a bit of an example:
Week One:
Dandelions, rachiado, endive, mustard greens, and kale.

Week Two:
Bock choy, watercress, optunia, pumpkin, and rachiado (mostly because I had left overs)

I always try to buy Walter different things ever time I go to the market. It's really hard for me to not just buy the same things, but I always write what I bought last time and try to avoid it. I'm sure other more knowledgable forum members will chime in

Asparagus and artichoke are things found in the store to add variety. Mine love the asparagus, but like all foods besides nutritious greens, I only feed it sparingly.

I didn't know they could eat asparagus I will try that don't know if he'll like it Lenny is very picky on what he eats

Besides BowandWalters list I also feed my sullies --all the squashes, bell peppers, spring mix, Timothy hay mixed with Hibiscus flowers from Petco, and their favorite Cactus pears and pads. Also mine get Mazuri 3/4times a week. Hope this helps.
