I want to have this thread to gather intel for asian plants diet as we seem to only have info on US-UK-European plants.
I am currently feeding these in a mix for my Sulcata, I cut them up every 3 days and store in a box in the fridge:
From garden:
- Axonopus compressus grass clippings (staple)
- Moringa oleifera (drumstick tree)
- Hibiscus leaves (staple)
-Some rose leaves (often)
- Ruellia simplex leaves (quite abundant here) (sometimes)
- Bougainvillea glabra leaves (paperflower) (staple)
- Nephrolepis cordifolia (ladder fern) (staple)
From fridge:
- Sauropus androgynus also called katuk ( vet doctor recommended) (staple)
- Asian watercress (once every two weeks)
- Mustard greens
- Brassica integrifolia also called (cai ngot), it has a sweet pleasant taste.
- a few Morning glory leaves
- Bok choy
- Salad greens (staple)
- Radicchio (rarely)
There are of course tiny sprouts of weeds in the garden that my tortoise plucked them out but I really can't find ways to identify them.
