    Tortoise Seed MIX ID

    Hoping someone can identify what these weeds are. I bought a tortoise seed mix from eBay a while ago and I just want to know if there are any plants here that shouldn't be fed at all or should be fed in moderation. For example, I thought clovers are bad?

    New Enclosure for my young DT. Heating question.
