Fresh, fibrous vegetables. Keep fruits to a minimum as the sugars tend to create digestive problems. Avoid meat based food items as long term health problems may occur.

borscht and vodka. But seriously, broadleaf greens. Provide a variety for better nutrition.

They need a varied diet. Plants should be free of residues from herbicides, insecticides, fungicides and fertilizers. Some things you can feed are:

cabbage, kale, watercress, cauliflower greens, dandelion greens, plantain (weed not the banana thing), petunia, hibiscus, pansy, carrots (greens and roots), hosta, sweet potato plant, pelargonium, romaine lettuce, mallow, tomato and grapes in moderation, grape leaves, nasturtium, aloe, honeysuckle, grass clippings, fescue, mulberry leaves, russian romaine, bermuda grass, squash, clover, rose petals and leaves, Grassland tortoise Yummies.
