Plants?

[devsharkey]

Hello again!

I'm looking to plant some nice plants in my back yard for my tortoises.

I've currently got Greeks (I found one sub-adult females so far for my male, still searching for more though~) and I'm looking to get some Egyptian's sometime soon too, so what kind of plants could they eat that are good to grow and safe for both species to munch on?

Again, I live in Arizona, and my backyard is big enough for anything, so throw my suggestions and advice and I'll take it all. I've got three citrus trees (orange, lemon, and tangelo) a few types of cactus (aloe, prickly pear, barrel) but we don't have any bushes, or vines, or flowers, whatever else.

What you have is ok. Good grasses, and succulents are going to be a primary. Try some wheat grass.

Awesome! Thank you where can I find wheat grass? At local hardware/garden shops or is that something I have to go to a Nursery for?

You might be able to find it a nursery. If not im sure you can find it online. A good thing I like to do for these guys is to have a small tray of assorted grass mix seeds growing in a portion of the enclosure.

Sedum is the ultimate snack food for Egyptians mine love it and get added water from them. Dandelion is fun to grow as a plant and is a super food for torts. In your hot hot Arizona weather try Sea Lavender, Milkvetch, Desert Plantain, Thyme and Mediteranian Grass. For Sedum get chubby leaf style like Burrows Tail or Pork and Beans Sedum. They love the stuff.
