Ok, so I was walking about in my garden, and I saw some cucumber vines twisting around the Aloe Vera... There were flowers on it too. I was wondering if tortoises could eat them. Oh, and I have grass in my garden, but half of the grass is dead. Can a tortoise eat the grass in my garden?
Thanks! :p
Here are some pics:

they would probably like the softer young grasses.. aloe is good, i think cucumber vine is ok... but wait or double check to be sure...

Well, I haven't got a tortoise yet :p, but I was researching so when I get him/her, I can offer him/her multiple choices... Oh, and it will probably be a greek tortoise.

Yes tortoises can eat grass as long as the grass is free of pesticides.But Grass however should not be its main menu as it is not a balanced diet for him.You can give fruits to him.
