Can you give the whole pansy plant or just the leaves or flowers?

Tortoises will eat the flowers and the leaves.

Dead nettles dont sting

Stinging nettles do

Kirkie · 10-03-2009, 09:19 AM

Dead nettles have a square shaped stem too. So you can check before you get stung

2 Pics that I don't know if they're good or not, I'm still learning my plants. They're both very common around my house. The photos were taken with my cell phone because I have no batteries for my digi. Can somebody help me if they're edible for torts or not. I don't remember seeing them on the tlady wesbite, but I could have just missed over them.

Cheers

Dead nettles look like stinging nettles but they dont sting and have either white or purple flowers
