Hi & welcome

I found this very useful, spent lots of time researching plants before planting up, we were lucky to have some in the garden & have planted quite a few more alongside the tortoise seed mix we grow although still trying to wean Munro off Florette salad mix. He's getting less but he is very stubborn.

Thanks & good luck have seen some great enclosures both here and on pinterest app. We recently upgraded Munros indoor enclosure as he outgrew his old one, we adapted an ikea bookcase as I couldn't get screws out. Munros not complaining he's got much more space now and he seems to be thriving.
