Hello! With Spring arriving, our little horsfield tortoise has begun demanding outside time. Unfortunately, when we do take her outside, essentially all she does is beeline for dandelions, completely ignoring the bounty of other leafy weeds we have available for her. We've read that dandelions should only be fed in moderation, but she wants to do nothing besides eat them when she goes outside.
Other plants we have in abundance:
How worried should we be? I don't see a way we can feasibly remove all the dandelions from our space, but she refuses to do anything else outside other than eat them.
Other plants we have in abundance:
- Ground elder
- Bittercress

- Thistle
- Clover
- normal grass
- many, many other unidentified broad-leaf greens
