Grape leaves are good food for tortoises. They should not have the grapes.

Just make sure your aunt hasn't used bug spray or weed killers on/near the plant.

If she has fertilized it, plain fertilizer is OK. You would have to find out whether that particular product contains any additives, like weed killer or stuff that holds moisture. If so, you shouldn't feed the leaves.

Are you planning to just take leaves, or take cuttings and grow vines yourself?

That's a bit confusing...you already know that torts should not eat fruit.

So if you mean other plants/trees that bear fruit, mulberry leaves are good for them. And squash plant is good. I'm sure there are many others as well, but offhand I can't remember them.
