A while ago, I mentioned that folks in the large tropical fish trade often use garlic to stimulate the appetite in a fish that will not eat and asked if it might work for a tortoise.
I was told by a couple of members that garlic was actually toxic for reptiles, etc. So I quickly dropped the issue. However, I see wild garlic on a few food lists for tortoises and I happen to have some growing in my garden. (The flowering type)
Is this different than the garlic that we all think of as food? And is wild garlic truly safe? Thanks.
