Hey everyone! So I was watching a video by the Turtle Conservancy and in one of the clips, a tortoise was shown eating a plumbago flower. I read before that these were poisonous but they are native in parts of southern Africa where many tortoise species are from. The Tortoise Table also says they are to be avoided, so erring on the side of caution. So I want to see what everyone thinks about it. Thanks~!

This was the video that I was watching:
And this was the tortoise eating the plumbago flower:
