I hope someone can help me - Until my tortoise garden gets growing, I am trying to feed my two-year-old Sulcata Lightning a variety of collected plants. As far as grasses go, there is (are?) plenty of bermuda, crabgrass and dallis grass around, but I am having trouble identifying many of the specialized desert grasses that are all dried up. My mind is overloaded with auricles, ligules, collars and stolons! After spending hours and hours on grass identification sites, I wonder if there is a better way besides posting numerous photos here (after I get a new camera). Maybe it would be easier to reverse the process:
Does anyone know if there are any toxic grasses (not counting moldy or prickly)? Then I could just avoid those.
Thanks everyone! I know I am overcomplicating and could be feeding Lightning a less varied diet, but it seems a shame not to take advantage of the Arizona desert smorgasbord.
