Meadow Vetchling

• 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.
