anybody here has an idea if these are ok for leopards?
it's non-toxic to humans, sometimes eaten as a salad in southeast asia.
it sprouts naturally in my outdoor grazing pen. i do not want to remove anything that can add variety to a natural diet, but i do not want to risk it either. the reason i'm asking is i know of somebody who fed this to his torts as part of a rotating diet, and they got diarrhea. i am not sure if this plant caused it, though. could be a multitude of factors since he is also housing sulcatas, hermans, and leopards in the same enclosure....
my end goal is not to feed my leopard tortoises. i want to just let them graze on live grasses and weeds. for now i provide assorted fresh grass mixed with other leaves such as hibiscus, maringo and other recommended greens everyday, since there is not yet enough food in my garden/pen. the mixed grass seeds i planted are already sprouting. once those grow, i will cut down on the "feed", until i can eventually just let them eat "wild".
