The Tortoise Table

Hi everybody,

Is sandwort OK for tortoises? I couldnt find it in the database. I have a big dried clump of it that I found in the dunes and I was thinking of putting it in the tortoise table as a hide - would there be a danger if he bit or tried to eat it?

Thanks,

TP

Hi TP.
Do you have a photo you can send in? Sandwort is the common name of several flowering plants And if there isn’t a Latin name then a photo would help us identify the correct plant for you and give advise.

Sandwort, also known as Arenaria, is a type of plant that typically grows in sandy or rocky habitats. While there are different species of sandwort, it is not commonly included in the diet of tortoises or specifically mentioned in their dietary guidelines.
