Safe inedible plants?

[adamkenn]

Hello all

any suggestions for safe plants that I can grow from seed that I can place into the vivarium that won't be eaten by my Russian and that are good for landscaping the vivarium?

Hmm ... I think by definition, inedible plants are not safe, which is why animals don't eat them. Having said that, if they don't get eaten, then they can be used for landscaping.

Can't you use fake plants ?

Anything you grow from seed will look like food to a tortoise. They like the tender young shoots from a seedling. If you buy plants already established that they don't normally eat you would be better off. Plants with a woody stem, maybe some ferns, etc.

Well I bought a fake plant that you just dig up the dirt a little a put it in there and so far she hasn't even thought about eating it.

What do you know about Camellias? Are they safe for my sulcata? There are some by the outdoor enclosure I am building.

Camelias are not safe for tortoises. I'd hang a net or something to catch the blossoms that fall, so your tortoise doesn't end up eating them by accident.
