Hi all,
I have a 10 month old leopard tortoise.

Would someone please tell me if these weeds are safe?
I have tried looking at pictures and Identifying them myself, but poor vision gets in my way! Better safe than sprry....
I also tried one of the plant identification apps, and was told that one of the weeds is found in south Asia. That gave me some doubts about the identification :D
Maybe it's because I'm using the free version...??

Also, are leaves from an apple tree or tart cherry tree safe to feed?

Many thanks!
Katie

Thank you so much!
It looks like lambs quarters to me as well although I can’t swear to it. The warnings on that plant seem to some owners to be based on outdated information. Certainly we’ve got experienced owners that feed it without trouble. My Russian doesn’t care for it but I still offer it on occasion.

No reason to offer anything you are concerned about, of course. Just letting you know opinions vary on this one.

Which one was it; it’s not uncommon for plants to make it over from one side of the globe to the other and there is one in your first picture that isn’t familiar to me.
