Note: This list took a long time to make (and sucked to re-format for this post), and it is still a work in progress. Many of the plants listed are rare, and are indigenous to South America and have been observed eaten by Redfoots in the wild (or simply a safe flora in their natural environment). Also, not all plants listed are from the Redfoots homeland, but have been considered safe for tortoises, and would likely grow in an environment along side the plants I have listed from South America.
