Question: You list thistle, is that the wild sort of spiky thing that gets the fuzzy lavender flower in the center of the plant? I see that all over the place but I never even consdiered it tortoise food before

It is a bright green leaf with a holly-like shape and white dots all over it. When it blooms, it is a really pretty pink spikey or fuzzy bloom. The tortoises love it and there is no need to remove the spines. Of course, all my tortoises are adults. I imagine it would be different for babies.
