I gave my tort a few Dandilions and now he has diarrhea. It is the first time he has had them. Could we have given him too many? The weren't sprayed.

I wouldn't worry right off the bat. It could just be cuz it's something very new. Give him some every other day and let his system get used to a new food. Most likely it will clear up quickly

We give him organic spring lettuce mix most of the time and occasionally strips of broccoli, red cabbage, and carrot. He hates carrot! He also does not like endive or mustard greens! Silly tortoise!! He is very active and loves to "play" with my son!

I don't have anymore Dandilions right now, but I will try one at a time when I get more.
Thanks!!
