Thistles

[izzy2208]

We have some thistles, i think canadian, in our yard that were getting rid of...but both torty and donny,my sulcata keep trying to eat those in stead of all the dandelions and grass. Can they eat them? Im not letting the torts eat them because i figured the couldnt eat them. Wouldnt that hurt to eat??

I know that regular thistle, milk thistle and sow thistle are all okay. I don't know of any thistle that they can't or shouldn't eat, but that doesn't mean there isn't one that I just haven't heard of yet.

Can you post a pic of the weed in question for positive ID?

Hmm cus ill pick kAle up and he/ she will be ok until all of a sudden he/she pees everywhere- and i thought they only tend to poop on their soaking- and not in their cage? Also kale refuses to eat his tort food
