Would this species survive by only eating oak leaves?

Would this species survive by only eating oak leaves?

I had a large, beautiful male, and that's what I fed him. He loved them. I cut several small branch tips and placed them in water bottles in his cage. He hung out in the leaves during the day and then munched on them at night. Variety is probably best, but he really liked the oak. Here's a website I found helpful: http://animaldiversity.org/accounts/Megaphasma_denticrus/

Thank you very much.

It says as nymphs they eat understory shrubs. Which shrubs should I use?
