Wintercreeper vine safe to eat?
 

Can my sulcata, red foot, and Russian eat wintercreeper vines? How about creeping Jenny?

I think Virginia creeper is ok, the tortoise table plant database will have information on both of those x

Can you be specific as to which type of "Vine"? Virginia Creeper should not be fed, but Mile a Minute/Russian Vine can be, but it must obviously be correctly id'd. Can you post a picture?

Creeping Jenny should be ok, but again can you post a picture to be sure?

Virginia creeper is just fine to feed :D All my tortoises will eat it and have for over 10 years (every summer) and have had no ill effects other than laying lots of eggs :mrgreen:

Virginia Creeper seems to be on most lists of "not to fed" The leaves can cause rashes with humans and the berries are deadly poisonous. I always think though that if something is going to affect a human then something much smaller eating it/coming into contact with surely has the potential to cause some harm?

I've never gotten a rash from Virginia creeper and handled tons of leaves and liquids from stripping them off the vines. Don't mess much with the berries though.

I've never had any reaction to Virginia creeper either, I love the look of this plant, I did have it growing up a trellis fence but bindweed took over and now I let the bindweed grow up the trellis as torts can eat that and its in the area of the adult tortoise garden x
