Wonderful idea with the mesh bags @Prairie Mom ! I have been wanting to do similar but am too paranoid about the bad weeds that do grow in my yard..... have you come across this concern at all?
I froze grasses and weeds for this winter and I can store more drying it tooYou definitely should! I've been doing it for years. Won't rehydrate to completely normal texture, but my tort likes it.
I recognize most of my weeds so I know I'm okay. Oddly enough I do get the occasional genuine original deadly night shade! I say cut and dry your grass any way, because most stuff is tort safe, you can pick any bad stuff as you cut, and you can always double check before feeding the dry stuff to your tortoise.Wonderful idea with the mesh bags @Prairie Mom !
