I have heard mixed reviews on giving avocados to Sulcata tortoises, does anyone have clarification?
Thanks

hmmm I dont know.. I know it can be toxic to birds...

i may be wrong on this, but im pretty sure the high fat content of avocados is not very healthy for tortoises.

I would try and stay away from the avocados. Nothing I have says yes or no for them. Play it safe unless you hear otherwise.

According to the CTTC Avacado leaves are POISON http://www.chelonia.org/Articles/plantsthatpoison.htm
