Dried Flowers

[MyTortoise]

Hello all; I was wondering what your opinion is on dried flowers... Are they good for tortoises? I'm thinking of ordering some from this website: http://www.shelledwarriorsshop.co.uk/dried-flowersweeds-48-c.asp
If you do recommend dried flowers, which ones from the website would you recommend?
Thanks.

Mine won't touch anything that's not fresh. Maybe try a few and see how that goes before you stock up on them.

If you still have any weeds or flowers left that are tort safe, dry them yourself and feed them whole. Just take a bunch, tie them together and hang upside down ina cool dry place, like a closet. The type they are selling, will cost a lot to even make one meal out of it. Otherwise, it would be okay to buy them, just pic the ones that are in your torts diet.

I have never actually fed my tortoise flowers :-( besides dandelions so I'm a bit unsure still...

Check out the Tortoisetable.org.uk something like that. There you will find edible safe flowers, start there.

Not sure about the others but hibiscus and roses are good both leaves and flowers.
