Meadow Vetchling
Do not Feed
- Common Name: Meadow Vetchling
- Latin Name: Lathyrus pratensis
- Family Name: Fabaceae/Leguminosae
This is a legume, and therefore too high in protein for most tortoises, but there are also reports of it causing stomach upsets and the seeds of some species in this genus contain a toxic amino acid that can cause lathyrism, a serious disease of the nervous system. So avoid feeding or planting this near to your tortoise enclosure.
