Contradicting Views.
I noticed today that I have some Yarrow growing outside the front of the house. On the Shelled Warriors edible weeds list, it says it is fine to feed. However the Tortoise Table website says that it is harmful and can cause eye problems in reptiles. Here is the link:

Yes I've noticed before it's one of those plants where there isn't total agreement. I got a few plants of it but just like Bev I found my torts weren't that bothered about eating it.
My opinion is that small amount wouldn't do any harm.
