Florida Pusley
My tortoise wants to eat this so bad.... but I can't find any information on whether it's safe or not.online I find a mix of reviews, some say edible to humans, others say no. Thank you Anyone?
Re: Florida Pusley
Hi and thanks for contacting us. I've checked out Florida Pusley (Richardia scabra), and can't find any property in it that would indicate that it would be unsuitable for tortoises to eat. Also, I've found that this plant is much favored by Gopher tortoises in Georgia and elsewhere, so I think that is a good recommendation. http://coastalplainplants.org/wiki/inde ... dia_scabra
I hope that helps,
