Hi everyone,
I want to make it clear firstly that I am very careful what I do feed my four young tortoises, but recently took some photos of some wild plants nearby, and wonder if anyone could confirm what they are, and if the would be safe to feed my yearlings any of them. It might help to add that I live in Valencia on the East coast of Spain.
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards. Steve

Hello and welcome.
  1. I don't know the first one.
  2. The second one is oxalis. It is not deadly toxic or anything, but it is a do not feed item. Do your best to pull it out by the root and toss it in the trash.
  3. The third looks like some kind of succulent. Some are fine and some are toxic. I don't know that one.

Hi Steve, and welcome to the Forum!

I'm not going to be much good to you, I'm afraid, because I can't remember the name of that first one, I only recognise that it is a 'do not feed' type plant. I think the succulent in the last picture would be ok to plant in the tortoises' enclosure, however, I don't think they will eat it.
