Default What weeds dont your tortoises enjoy

There are lots of edible weeds out there but it does not mean that your tortoise will eat them. Some smell horrible.

Mine dont really like jack by the hedge because of its strong smell

Not keen on red clover

I will add to this list later.

Mine aren't too keen on plaintain but I force them to eat it (well as much as you can force a tort to eat anything) as I think it's good for them and is plentiful in my local cemetery.
