Im finding it extremely hard to identify weeds that are suitable to feed my hermann tortoise, does anyone have any suggestions on what foods i can get her ? Or fine for her which are easy to identify?

Hi Shanon

Your friend is The Tortoise Table.

It has a Plant Database where you can look plants up by flower colour to identify them and give you pictures of the ones that you know the name of, but cannot recognise http://www.thetortoisetable.org.uk/site/plant_database_14.asp

The website also has a pdf Plant Booklet that you can print off or download to your smart phone so that you can take it out with you when foraging for weeds http://thetortoisetable.org.uk/site/plant_booklet_8595_40.asp
