You left off one of the best tortoise plants - any member of the chicory familiy,endive,raddichio,escarole etc.
Don't forget dandelions - there are even "domesticated" varieties available.
Plantago major and asiatica & other varieties are also good.
If you don't mind growing really weedy plants (I collect mine), any common Sonchus (sowthistle) member is good.
Of course most Hibiscus plants are good - most torts will eat both the leaf & flowers.
