Have a red foot tortoise wondering if any one has any plants they would recommend for her?
Have a red foot tortoise wondering if any one has any plants they would recommend for her?
The only ones I know of are Mallow, Clover, a lot of grasses, hibiscus, dandelions. Tortoise are SO rough on plants though. But some of these do add in some nice foraging for them. I will say, I don't collect from outside, and when doing enclosures I try to get seeds. That way I know no pesticides or synthetic fertilizer were in them. The other option being buy a plant, completely spray it down and repot it in New organic media, and let it hang out for like 6 months to make sure all systemic pesticides or fertilizer are gone.
