I was wondering why we all are so worried about our tortoises getting into toxic plants. Of course I know we wouldn't expose them on purpose but what if there happens to be a plant that is good for them. Of course we would think that we have to rip them out but don't tortoises in the wild encounter a lot of toxic plants? I know they aren't in the wild any more but what if you have a Sulcata out grazing and there is a toxic weed or something that we are unaware of? I'm pretty sure redfoots encounter a lot of poisonous plants in their natural habit. Would they no better not to eat it or would they be opportunists?? I would hate for something to grow in Nova's outdoor pen that could be poisonous and I don't get to it on time. Would she know better not to eat it?
