@ZEROPILOT I'm in the Tampa area. I'm reaching out to you since you're in Florida as well. I'm not sure what weeds to feed my leopard tort (Frankie.) I have hibiscus plants in pots and they keep getting covered in aphids and mealy bugs and then they get pathetic looking & die. I just bought a new one and am going to sprinkle food grade diatomaceous on it and see if I can prevent the bugs. I have a Mexican petunia plant and Frankie likes the purple flowers but isnt digging the leaves yet. Any weeds that you are familiar with here that are safe? I buy dandelion leaves from sprouts and am trying to grow some from seeds as well...but they take a while to grow. I have a spineless cactus that he enjoys. I feel like I'm feeding him the same things all the time. He gets endive too...more often than he should because it's easy to find. Any suggestions?
