Lily leaves - are these ok to feed baby tortoises?

[rebecca fordham]

Hello all, I have some lily leaves. Can I feed them to my tortoise? Thanks

As a rule, NO.
Be suspicious of any plant that grows from a bulb.
My tortoises did eat a bunch of Easter lilies once and didn't seem any worse for it. But they should not be fed and should be considered poisonous.

It depends on what kind of Lilly it is. I only know of day Lillies being okay.

Not not at all. With all the different ones out there and so many hybrids it's probably best to stay away from them. My don't eat them anyway but they like to walk over them

Welcome to the Forum, Rebecca. As a general rule, lilies are not edible.
