I would just go with endive, collards, etc from the store and use carrots, yellow squash and maybe some red, yellow or orange bell pepper to add color. Shred the colorful vegetables over the greens. And chop the greens to make them easier to eat and to release the aroma. A colorful pellet like the RepCal or Pretty Pets would also help. Plus they have a strong fruity smell.

I've never purchased any plants or seeds online. I use weeds from my yard during the spring and summer and grocery greens and pellets at other times.

You may also be fighting with the tortoise's natural urge to hibernate this time of year. If he is ill or has a heavy parasite load you'll need to keep him awake.
