Wonderful weeds for our Greek!

[biochemnerd808]

I love Spring - there are so many different weeds and leaves I can harvest for my tortoises!



Here is a picture of our foster-Greek, Shelton, chowing down on a delicious (to him) and healthy mix of miner's lettuce, dead-nettle, dandelion leaves and flowers, thistle, and broad leaf plantain weed. I collected these in the non-sprayed wild field and under some trees near our house, as well as in my own garden.
Also on the menu this week: strawberry leaves, violet leaves and flowers, sedum, and fresh raspberry leaves, all from my garden.

What are YOU feeding your tortoise(s) this week?

Still feeding store bought greens and Mazuri. It's still really cold here Next week isn't looking too bad. Hopefully some warmth and sunshine will bring out some good things to eat

Chicago is still too cold for nature to do its thing... good thing I started some spring mix seeds and forget-me-nots 2weeks ago indoors

Still snow on the ground here. I am ready to have both my torts and horses grazing... For now torts on grocery greens and horses on hay which I am sure both are ready for the good stuff!

I can relate. I've been able to get Buddha outside for at least an hour everyday this week.
