Stickybuds, that's it! I could not think of the name!

Thanks all, looks like the torts will have some more variety if they eat them Appears one name for it is ivy chickweed! With both torts and their weeds I'm beginning to see why people use latin names!

Thankyou oh wonderful tort people

stick bud, aka sticky willy, aka cleavers. it has hallucinogenic properties like LSD and magic mushrooms (so I'm told)

if you see your tortoise flying round the room then it's likely you have been eating sticky bud
