WOW such great info!
« on: July 11, 2006, 07:15:37 PM »
   Well I have also aquired a new Russian male named Vyvyan( "vivian" the punk dude from the yourng ones) My son brought Vyv home from granmas and we have been doing our VERY best to give Vyv the best darn torroise life we can.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place and its people :D.

 We just finished Vyvyans outdoor pen and I have planted several plants from the list,I have a wealth of wild tortoise " weeds" growing around including purslane and Vyv has been MORE than happpy to munch AND ESCAPE! I saw Stolis pics and had to chuckle.....I never KNEW they could climb like monkeys LOL

ANYWAY I also wondered about Arugla; only the wild stuff called rocket.I also wanted to know about sunflower plants.I know the flower heads are edible by humans just before the flower opens but what about the foilage .Also what about bird seed plants...I notice all the green weeds growing under the feeder and wonder if I put some in Vyvyans pen if it was tortoise friendly

Thanks TIna

Both are fine as a part of the diet, though my torts ignore sunflower plants

Don't feed the seed heads or the sprouts
