I have a huge garden area where I have grown dandilions gor my Hermann tortoise and have a couple of questions please.
1) can they eat the flowers dried , or just leaves? I also notice a lot dying off and turning fluffy which I assume need drying out before they get to that stage?
2) I want to dry dandilions and a few other weeds as well because at -30 in the winter I
Won’t be able to have them fresh. How long after drying them out are they good for nutrition wise?
3. Are creeping bell flowers a safe feed? We’ve had a ton come up this year
I have a dehydrator but was thinking of drying them in the oven a large amt at a time. . At whst temp, how long, and should they be stored in bags or jars?
I had bought some from a guy years ago and he dried them and sprinkled them in his food in the winter, so wondered how dried out they should be.
I plan on doing them asap before the dandilions get more seeds
Thanks
