The Tortoise Table

Hello, can my tortoise eat these plants?

Thanks

Hi Anandita,

Was there meant to be a photo with your post? We're not sure which plant you are asking about. Hope Truck is doing well and enjoying the summer (hopefully weather will improve soon).

Yes, sorry having trouble uploading them

If you're having problems just sent the photos to me at nina@thetortoisetable.org.uk and I'll upload them for you.

Hi Amandita,
I've posted your photos below. The plant in the pot is a Hibiscus (Hibiscus moscheutos) and is perfectly fine to feed to your tortoise (and he will particularly like the flowers). Here are links to the two entries we have for hardy hibiscus:

The other plant is a Prickly Lettuce and is not good to feed to tortoise. Here is our entry for it:

I hope that helps.

Thank you for all your help

Glad to be of help and don't hesitate to ask if you ever have any more questions.

Best wishes,
Nina
