So I was at Home Depot today getting some materials to build my outdoor enclosure for my RT and they had agave plants on sale. I bought one to put in my front yard to later see that russiantortoise.net lists them as edible! Can I just cut off a stalk and feed it to the little guy? If so, is there something I can do to get any pesticides out of the plant? I think I might end up just planting it right in the outdoor enclosure!
Is it even worth feeding to him? Not sure of the nutritional values.
I've got a sully to. Can he eat it?
Thanks!
