Hello everybody,
First of all, keep this in mind; we all know that dead nettles ( all varieties such as the purple white and yellow) are suitable to eat for tortoises.
About a week ago I was strolling about the internet when I found a product wich you could buy, wich were dried up stinging nettles. They mentioned how good it was for your tortoises after his wintersleep. Regarding the metabolism of your tortoises that would work faster with these nettles.
So concluding I can understand that a faster metabolism after wintersleep could be advantageous for the strengthening of your little friend.
Regarding that, I wanted to ask a couple of questions;
- Does anybody know if this particular quality in dried up stinging nettles is true?
And now the most important question (since I got my tortoise newly this year and not so long ago he is not hibernating this year)
-Do these qualities also go for the freshly picked dead nettle varieties, wich are suitable and well liked by tortoises?
