Suitable Seeds- Help!
Hello All,
Happy New Year! I am going to buy a pack of seeds online for my Horsefield's Tortoise. However before hand I want to know that they are definitely safe for my Tortoise to eat. It would be great to get some advice and replies referring to the following seeds/flowers/weeds: White Clover Crimson Clover Dandelion Chicory Sainfoin Thistle Primrose Vetch Thanks in advance for all of your help.

I'm not sure that primrose would be safe to eat, otherwise the others are fine. Plantain and nipplewort are good seeds to go for too.

Why don't you buy seeds from shelled warrior shop? They are all suitable and you can get mixed packs.
