Hi,

It is a great resource and the creators deserve credit for all of the work they put into it, but I wonder how developed is the science underpinning a lot of the claims about specific plants? I presume that not much toxicity testing has been done specifically on tortoises.
It seems that different species have evolved to have different diets and Manouria's seem to break a lot of diet rules in the table. e.g alocasia.
What are your thoughts or experiences? Do you ignore their dietary claims with your torts?
