So we are getting our tortoise next week from the local pet store. They say it’s a Greek, but I’ll get that confirmed once we have it.
That said our indoor enclosure for winter is finished and I’d like to plant a few edibles in there both for decoration, diet, and to give more hiding spots. I’m little concerned with this being a store bought tortoise that it will be difficult to adjust to a fresh diet, so I only want things that are 100% safe. I did buy some of the food the store feeds it, so I don’t shock digestion. I love some ideas on things that I can plant in the enclosure even if they will be completely eaten in a week. I’m starting with a few pansies that I don’t expect to last. I want an aloe plant also, probably in a raised pot, I also have seen spider plants are good.. but they look exactly like other plants that I’ve seen are poisonous..help?
I also would love ideas of things I can look for and grow outside. We will do veggie treats but I’d really like to do a mostly fresh picked diet. Thanks ahead of time
