my grass has fertilizer is that ok? So I can’t give the 6yo mowed grass? We have a normal mower.

What is the grass fertilized with? You need to read the label on the bag. If it is plain fertilizer and it is all absorbed into the soil, you can feed the tortoise some of it. If it is a "weed n feed" with pesticides or herbicides (most of them are…), then you should not feed it to your tortoise.So that’s a no on the mower grass? My grass is fertilized is that ok
