Hello everyone, just was wondering if Florida pusley is healthy for russian tortoises. My russians eat it over every other option, and have cleared their enclosure of it. I just want to clarify if it is healthy for them. Thanks!
Florida pusley nutrition?

People ask about this weed every so often. I’ve never seen a definitive answer.
There are people who have fed it to their tortoises long term without issue. It’s also a native food for gopher tortoises.
I’d offer it to my Russian based on that information but I’m pretty relaxed about food; not everyone would.

I was wondering that too! I see pusley literally everywhere!
It's alll over my property. My tortoises will never resist it. I just give them it as a varied diet, I never give too much just in case there is something that can harm them if they eat too much of it over a long period of time. But they really like it for some reason.
