I had to ask your friend google because there is not a current care sheet for Gopherus agassizii on this forum...Opuntia cactus, grass, rose of sharon, any of the squash plants, aloe, dandelion, roses, gazania, mallow, dichondra, pansies - the list is long. You can ask my friend, Google, for a list of edible plants for your tortoise and he'll tell you many more than this.

Thank you! I actually ordered some of that same mix thanks to recommendation from where I’m adoptingI recently adopted an adult female G. agassizii. I ordered some native desert seeds from the Theodore Payne Foundation. They have a Desert Tortoise mix that includes: Purple Owl's Clover, California Buckwheat, Goldfields, Chia, Apricot Mallow, Desert Needlegrass, and Indian Ricegrass. I also grabbed individually Desert Dandelion, and an extra packet Apricot Mallow.
I plan to plant these inside her enclosure as well as clover, plantain, and nettle once she goes into brumation for next year.
I am new here, but I wanted to share I added a small aloe plant to my enclosure. I buried it in it's pot into the substrate. She's only a baby but she's knocked it around a bit, never taken a chomp tho.
I also use clover which grows rapidly. Once a week I pick some clovers from my yard for her, it grows everywhere that's wet and shady so it's easy. They are high in protein which is great for her since she's a baby.
