Ideas of plants to grow for tortoises

[Ed mitch]

Everyone says on the forum that organic grown food is best for you torts, can you please give me some plant names to grow and feed to my tortoise,
Thanks

 

[Yvonne G]

Most all tortoises will eat rose of sharon, both the leaves and the flowers. You can also plant clover, any of the viola/pansy/violet family, dandylion, plantain, smooth cats ear, campanula, latavera, black medic, milk thistle, hebe, fushia, sow thistle, yarrow, snap dragon, brixley ox tongue, trefoil, mustard, mimulas, roses, grape vines and any of the squashes as the leaves are very tasty.

Skip all the text and just scroll down to the food list. I use all of this and more:
http://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/for-those-who-have-a-young-sulcata.76744/

I feed all of this to my 14 stars, I just use a lot less grass than I would for a sulcata or SA leopard.

Growing this for my tortoise!

Nice, Ed! Still have a bit of growing to do before that becomes a sustainable food source. My little crew could mow that down in minutes!
