ooh that's a good web site.

Hoppy S I would go to local independent garden centre and look at pansies too, nasturtiums, thistles (globe ok), antirrhinum, (snap dragon) African violet, campanula, diasca, spider plant. I am trying to think of ones that may be for sale at the moment. To be honest though its far easier to seed wild plants like dandelion , thistle and chicory...I would keep away from veg, there are some greens that are ok in moderation but the are fiddly and most contain too much protein like peas (I adopted a tortoise fed on veg and bean sprouts and she was white and lumpy - now very grubby dirty and healthier).

Tortoise table is good web site for choosing shop bought plants carefully at the low end scale. Problem being you can buy these things but the tortoise may not eat them ! My lot don't touch the pansies and rarely nasturtiums.. they will tug at weeds though but appreciate all torts are not the same ...CB
