Photographs of Gretta

[EccoGalaxy]

These are the best photographs I've taken of Gretta, two of them I edited using GIMP. She's really happy and content in the past 4 months she's lived here.
Since it's Spring, she's been eating a lot of weeds this month, including dandelions and dot leaves.

Gretta is cute

What are dot leaves?

I have heard of dock leaves - they're on the Do Not Feed list

I think I meant dock leaves, I wasn't sure at first that it was on the list though thankfully I don't think she noticed it much at all, and went straight for dandelions and Lamb's lettuce. I think she eats sticky weeds too, I couldn't find it on the list though but I assume it's safe.

Since it's becoming warmer she's been out a lot more frequently in the back garden

If this is what you are calling sticky weeds http://www.thetortoisetable.org.uk/plant-database/viewplants/?plant=132#.WPy2O4FE2aM the recommendation would be to feed sparingly

Search for plants that you find on The Tortoise Table Plant Database to check their suitability to feed

Is she a Russian

Yes, that is a Russian or a Horsfield's tortoise, as they are more commonly known in Europe/the U.K.
