Sulcata safe

I think I posted these before but I'm out gathering food for Oliver. Any of these toxic for him
I apologize if I've asked before.

There's a wonderful site for edible plants for tortoises...... Thetortoisetable.org.uk

I know you don't know the names but some of the pictures make it hard to id them (not that I'm good at that) I've looked through every plant for the ones in my garden and i found most of them..... It's tedious but needs to be done.

The last one is a butterfly bush...

4th and 5th from the bottom might be a serviceberry....

The rest I am of no help on (=

I'd say no on most, because they're trees. Trees just aren't a natural part of sulcata's diets!
The fruit looks interesting though, they kinda look like figs?

I don't know any of those and have never fed them to a tortoise.

Might be easier to start with what we already know is edible and either plant those, or find them somewhere from a safe location.

My mom thinks they are lychee fruits

Definitely will do I wanted to know if I had to remove them for when Oliver gets big enough to roam in the yard.

ooo, Looked them u, they looks kinds good! Humans can eat them, even if your tort can't

In most cases a well fed tortoise is not going to eat tree leaves that they shouldn't. Just makes sure your tortoise always has enough weeds and grass to consume and I would guess it will be okay.

There are exceptions, so keep an eye on things.
