Hope you're having a splendid day so far.
Have some coffee with salt in it.

Where does it says that? TheTortoiseTable?
It's okay in moderation as part of a mixed diet.I really don't know weather to put in the cress and rape as I was reading that it's bad for them...
Tidgy eats cress with no ill effects, though I've never tried rape.
Morning, Cameron.
The Dr Pepper will be here tomorrow morning, hopefully.

Hi Adam
Not too bad
Thank you sir *takes coffee *
I bought some grape vines for the kids yesterday, can't wait until it is big enough to start harvesting
Tortoise table says it's okay in moderation, it's only overfeeding that can produce problems and remember that TTT is invariably over-cautious.
http://www.tortoisecentre.co.uk/Tortoise diet.aspx says ok.
Can't find anywhere that says no, only that it must be part of a balanced diet.
Off the top of my head, I don't know any edible (for humans) vegetable that is actually toxic to tortoises. So that is a good rough guideline: if it's safe for you to eat, it's safe for him to eat (in moderation).
Hopefully you're prepared it might be life altering.
Fruit for you, leaves for the torts ?Hi Adam

I think potato and rhubarb are no-nos. Onions too, though a tiny bit won't hurt.
Or mind altering ?
I think it's the leaves of rhubarb that are toxic for people, I've seen it suggested that the stalks are ok for tortoises since they are ok for people. Potatoes, it's also the leaves; I've seen the actually tubers listed on edible lists going back a while. I don't know of any evidence of onion being actually toxic; and have known multiple people that have fed onion with no apparent ill effects.
That said, if anyone is unsure, it's always better to play it safe.

Aww man!
My brothers and I really want one!
They cost a bomb though
and knowing me, I'd probably break it (as well as myself!)
