Hi guys, thought I would just share my process of drying leaves for winter. I got my first tortoise in April, so have never done it before, but thought it may be useful to share ideas and such.
So far, I have picked a few leaves today and put thread through them and hung them up to dry. I am in touch with the people at thetortoisetable.org.uk on facebook and they have given me a bit of advice too.
Here are my leaves:
In a few days when they have dried, I will put them in a resealable bag and then into a dark place to keep the colour.
Then in a couple of weeks I will feed some to Shermann to make sure he likes them. No point in drying a tonne of leaves for nothing!
