Putting the words Honeysuckle and Tortoise together in a google search revealed several hits....this is just one and I do NOT know the veracity of their information!


A quick scan said it's toxic but my feeling(mho) after scanning is that kinda like liquor for us, it's bad in quantities but they seem to like it...so regulate it closely or else!

As always though, defer to the smart guys here.......I don't claim to be one of them.

Good luck!

Ive routinely fed a few vines (flowers & leaves) now & then to our Sulcata, no I’ll effects. That said, TheTortoiseTable says this:
  • Common Name: Honeysuckle
  • Latin Name: Lonicera spp.
  • Family Name: Caprifoliaceae
Flowers are fine in moderation, but the berries are toxic and the leaves high in saponins.
