Can they eat Azalias? I'm not sure how to spell that..

I have about 20 HUGE bushes of them around the house.. and wouldn't mind getting some for Bullet, if they can eat them..

Thanks.

Dang. I am not finding the food list where I thought it was.

I'm sure someone who knows will come along soon.

How's McKinlee kicking?

I think they are on the "no-no' list, but mine occasionally nibbles on them, with no ill effects. I don't think torts find them very tasty.

Shelly, Okay thanks.. I couldn't find them on the food list, but might have over looked them.

I'm pretty sure that Azalias are toxic.

Azalea toxicity
Azaleas, rhododendrons, and mountain laurel (Kalmia) are mildly toxic when eaten by animals, and may cause abdominal and cardiovascular problems. All parts of the plants are toxic, as is honey from the flowers. See Purdue University's Indiana toxic plants website for more details.
