Franklin hasn't been himself lately :(

Tortoises can get very picky on what try eat, you gotta keep offering him food he doesn't like and sometimes if they don't eat then they don't eat. You won't starve him if he misses a few feeding days. Gotta have tough love sometimes.

Good to hear that he is eating the grapes! Unfortunalely, as you know, grapes aren't all that great... maybe try squeezing some grape juice onto what you want to feed him normally and see if he'll eat that. Were the grapes and greens separate?

May I suggest trickery? When dealing with a picky eater that I don't want to use 'tough love ', such as a hatchling or otherwise fragile, I'll take the food I want him to eat (dandelion, plantain , collard, arugula,etc) and chop it up REALLY fine , like parsley flakes and combine with diced favorites such as grapes in your case. My redfoot favors blueberries and wild strawberries so I use those as bait. Fruit can also get them to eat their Ca which some seem to not like. Good luck!
