You can add Endive, Dandelions, Chicory, escarole and Romaine to Tims list, watercress too.

I feed my baby sulcata greens from the list above and Tims list.He also goes out daily though and grazes.
Kale and collards in moderation ( or so I've read at various web sites)Mustard greens mine refuse to eat, but maybe you'll have better luck.I also supplement my larger sulcatas grazing diet with greens.

Hibiscus flowers and leaves, mulberry leaves and Opuntia you can grow in your yard and feed to the torts.

If you have a sulcata , leopard or species that grazes, time outdoors doing just that is highly recommended.

There are a whole variety of edible plants/weeds/flowers you can grow in your yard , some even indoors.

Store bought greens are fine, but you should also feed some more natural food too.
Grocery greens alone aren't an ideal diet, but can definately be a part of the diet.

Terry.
