Hello. Do you know if Japanese stiltgrass is safe to feed to a Hermann’s tortoise? Thanks.Cool & sunny here. Finally some perfect gardening weather. Ive raked, cut the lawn, transplanted & divided a few house plants, gave away a few Snake Plants & a fig tree or two. Cleaned the garage up, participated in a community “garage sale” (i had a bunch of hostas, liriope, monstera, & snake plants up for sale). Pulled some Japanese Stiltgrass for our Sully to graze on. Soon, a wee bonfire on the back deck. Thats enough for today. 65 degrees outside and loving it. (18C)

Here's my visitor taking a paddle in his water dish before heading in to eat He was back again last night.

Hi This may helpHello. Do you know if Japanese stiltgrass is safe to feed to a Hermann’s tortoise? Thanks.
Yes, They've been popping in for the last few years, so I made a feeding station. I noticed some droppings a couple of weeks ago so put some food and my camera out just in case. Unusual to see them before the autumn though.Is that a hedgehog?

Thank goodness my surname is Turdingham!A little trivia why we refer ouras crap. During the war our servicemen were in Europe. One of the most used toilets was manufactured by a company using the owners name as the brand. His last name was Crapper. So be happy one of your ancestors didn't go into the toilet business.

And well...of course it had to get crazy after that. But he said their office would help me so once again I have to put them through the ringer. A prior authorization. Just because I'm allergic to corn. The pharmacy tried to deliver my prescription with corn included in the caplets. Whatever. All of them have been told time and time again that I'm allergic to corn. Even when I include it in my medical records it's removed from my records but not by me. So now my doctor's office has to do all this extra paperwork so that I can get the only real best medication by prescription for me. It's even an over the counter medication. It shouldn't matter that I need one without corn.I had to visit my gastroenterologist today and all he wants to do is talk crap![]()

but if in doubt it's best not to risk it. Do you have a picture of it?

Hi Cathie. Thanks! I have an eastern Hermann’s tortoise. Where we live in GA we have a ton of this weed growing in the woods and parks nearby. So much, that I have a hard time finding native plants like dandelions or plantain.Hello. And welcome
what kind of tortoise do you have? Also I just googled Japanese Still Grass and it's an invasive plant here in the US even if it is edible for a tortoise. There's so many others just as good here in our country why bother.

Just to be more clear I don't know if it's edible. I have a Russian which is close in nature to a Herman's. My Russian is picky about what he eats even among the plants that he loves. I don't know that he would ever even eat grass. He usually passes that up for the perfect dandelion that smells just rightHi Cathie. Thanks! I have an eastern Hermann’s tortoise.

I love Italian ice too. Any timeThere is no guilt or shame for having Ice Cream for dinner once a week or so. My fav is Italian ice......I typically have Raisin Bran for dinner a couple nights a week. Last night I ate a big plate of spaghetti at near bed time....I was up with all kinds of carb energy for two more hours! LOL
You have wild Hedgehogs Lyn? I guess they have to live wild somewhere, I just never thought about where they lived. The UK? hmm, learned my "new thing for the day" early....it's only 2am!
Turdingham!?
It should be a "Harrington" for a flushing water closet but Thomas Crapper made his mark, so to speak!
LOL
When I was a kid, I thought they were all "Standard"....it's all I could see at a urinal at 7 years old!
