I was excited to see that stinging nettles were one of the 100% safe to feed plants on tortoisetable.org.uk. I looked into my neighbours garden, which is currently my number 1 source of weeds for Shermann, and low and behold... lots of nettles!

But... how do they not sting the inside of the tortoises mouth? It makes me cringe watching him eat the leaves!

That's a darned good question...right up there with why don't the tortoises get cactus stickers stuck in their mouths?
