So today I was browsing facebook when one of my friends posts a pic of her russian in a tiny tank on wood shavings with a caption that says "My tortoise looks dead" (clearly lethargic). I commented on it not trying to start anything just trying to help. I simply stated that the enclosure and...

Does anyone know if it can be transplanted? What about plantain?

I did a google image search for mallow but 100 different plants come up.
