Hello, I have an octopus plant in Frankie's enclosure which I surrounded by rocks. It's been there probably 2 months, the fogger dispenses over it. Today I came home and found frankie somehow inside this (off limit area) and half of the octopus plant eaten. I worry because it is a carnivorous plant but I can't find anything about it's toxicity because I don't have it's Latin name. She seems fine active, eating, alert, but want to know if I need to do something if indeed it is toxic. If anyone has had a similar experience or or can help in any way, that would be greatly appreciated.

They are commonly called sundews and belong to the family Drosera if that helps.
Shouldn't think they're poisonous to people, but have no idea about tortoises.
