Lemon grass
Lemon balm

Check out tortoise table.org. Also look in the sulcata section for a long food list.

I don't know about those, but here is a whole list of suggestions:

In my experience, tortoises do not like to eat plants in the mint family, including lemon balm. You don't have to eradicate it, but it's not worth trying to feed. Your garden will soon reflect their taste - plantain, dandelion, rose of Sharon, hibiscus, rose, cranesbill, violets, grape vine...

That explains why mint grows so well in my yard even though Charlie has been known to trample the bed.
