SW Rabbit Guinea pig Seed Mix also suitable for Tortoises?
I have a nicely grown weed patch after buying the Rabbit/ Guinea mix from the SW shop, it contains:
1. Meadow fescue 2. Cocksfoot 3. Sheeps fescue 4. Tall fescue 5. Creeping red fescue 6. Red fescue 7. Timothy grass 8. Dandelion 9. Chickweed 10. Crimson Clover 11. White clover 12. Red clover 13. Aslike clover 14. Chicory 15. Plantain 2. Trefoil 17. Yarrow 18. Shepards Purse 19. Vetch 20. Ladys bedstraw 21. Hedge bedstraw 22. Knapweed 23. Chickweed 24. White Musk Mallow Are these okay for a Tort to eat? It'll be good if I can share the weed patch between both animals |

Oh, it's okay. I found this on the SW shop http://www.shelledwarriorsshop.co.uk...ost-1004-p.asp
It contains everything from the Rabbit mix. |

They sell the Fescues and Cocksfoot in the other mixes
Now I just need a book with pictures so I can see what is what, some mystery thistles have popped up in my weed patch which sprouted from nowhere. There could be other stray plants in there that I might mistake for edible ones. |

that's handy. if they don't have it ask if they can get it for you and you will save the postage. sometimes when I go in they have a couple then none then next time maybe 3 or 4. they never seem to have a big amount
