Obtaining tortoise food

Are there any websites that weeds/flowers/grasses that Tortoises can eat?

Or possibly even the weeds for these plants?

Thanks!

RE: Obtaining tortoise food

I think what you're asking is: "Are there any websites with lists of plants tortoises can eat?"
and the answer is yes. What species do you have? Most of our species forums have at least a rough list of suitable plants.
your best bet is to buy seeds, plant them, and let your tortoises graze on that. theres a seed thread in the Tortoise Food forum

No, actually, I was asking if there are websites that sell the actual plants/weeds/flowers. I was given the link by another member on another forum.

http://www.reptileeats.com Sells the actual plants.

But thanks Smile

RE: Obtaining tortoise food

Here are some links to sites that sell actual plants /weeds/flowers and veg. You can also type in Organic Produce on your search engine and find lots of places to purchase plants etc from for both people and torts.

What Robyn said!! But you can also buy seeds and throw them in the enclosures and your torts will be able to graze.. another site would be http://www.turtlecafe.com or http://gurneys.com/default.asp?bhcd2=1205533754 they sell everything.. just make sure whatever you do use has no pesticides or fertilizer on them.
