Hi All,
I would like to grow some plants indoors for my lovely tortoise to eat. He is a 15 year old male Russian tortoise named Vlad. I have a balcony where I could place a hanging basket, however, I live on a main street in a city, and I am kind of uneasy about feeding him plants that have grown in the middle of the city (polluted air/toxic particles etc). I have considered growing plants in his enclosure, however, he loves to dig and push his accessories around, so I feel like he would just absolutely destroy any plant I attempt to put in there.
I would like to grow flowers and/or grasses indoors since I have some window space and will happily consider indoor lighting or some kind of elaborate set up.
What flowers or plants do you suggest? Have you grown plants for your tortoise before? Any tips? What do they like? What is good for them? Are there any plants that regenerate easily that I could continuously grow?
Thank you for your help!
