Egg plant?

[Irwin4530]

Sorry but f
This has been asked before BUT can tortoises eat eggplant? And if not why?

It is my understanding that eggplant are in the nightshade family and are potentially poisonous to tortoises.

the plant its classified as Night Shade so asl a rule I don't feed.

Thank you so much everyone I knew there was a reason I never fed it but I wasn't sure why ..... I remember reading somewhere that they don't eat it, didn't realize it was classified as nightshade! Very interesting.
Thank you!!
