Hi all, I know that this is a fairly well discussed topic but I believe my case is a little different.

During the winter I like to grow food from seed to feed my tortoises, as packaged vegetables aren’t that great. When I grow these I just put them on wet paper towel in a large tray and wait for them to grow out of the seeds. Would it be safe for me to feed my tortoise the entire plants including roots and seeds as well as stems and leaves, or do I need to detach each plant from its seed. These plants are very small, so it would be more convenient and less wasteful to feed the whole plant, however I would never do anything to harm my tortoise!

I’ve heard seeds don’t provide nutrition, but I was wondering if they were actually safe, especially for a small tortoise like mine.
