Will tortoises eat my African violets

[Speedy and Pokey TheTorts]

I know a lot of people use African violets and I know they grow fairly slow and I am wondering if my marginated tortoises will eat them, thanks.

My deserts and my leopard eat them and seem to like them.

Thanks do they eat them a lot cause that’s what I’m worried about

The desert tortoises will eat African violets to the nubs because they like it so much. The leopard just bites mouthfuls here and there. It should be harmless as far as I know but I don’t have a marginated.

Ok I think I will try putting one violet in as a test
