Dandelion

Dandelion

Common name : Dandelion
Latin name : Taraxacum officinale
Family name : Asteraceae/Compositae

A firm favourite but quite high in oxalates.  Can colour urine pink/red if not fed in moderation as part of a varied diet. 

It is also a diuretic, so it is possible for small tortoises to become dehydrated if too much is eaten.
