Hisbiscus is pretty hardy.I am in se Texas, and mine bloom for most of the winter until we have really hard freeze. People use them as shrubs here. You can check with a garden center, but you have to be very careful about pesticides, both on the leaves and in the soil.

I also throw colorful small bird pellets in my herbivore salads. I use either small hookbill pellets from pretty bird or zoopreem cockatiel pellets, and throw in a small handful right after I rinse and chop the salad. I let it sit and the pellets absorb the water, then feed. I got this tip from Doug Dix's uro care sheet, and all of my herbivores love it.

Aren't young rhinos also at least partly insectivore? i know the spiny tail igs are.
