Hi guys. I went to my local farmer's market today to get some succulents. It's the first time I go out and shop for them. I live in Canada and I have a Greek tortoise from Morocco, he's 15 now.
I asked one of the farmers if their plants were edible and if they were grown with any chemicals. They checked with their provider and said that they were grown with insect-based means (not sure if that's an alternative to pesticides??).
I went to another farmer and asked for the same thing (she saw what I bought for my tortoise) and she started telling me how the other farmers where I bought the succulents are liers and that my tortoise would probably die eating the Aloe I bought because the milk inside of it burns or something of the sort...
I'm scared to feed the succulents to my tort. Any thoughts? If I can't feed them to my tort, where can I get safe to eat succulents in Canada?
Also, I used the TortoiseTable database to shop for safe to eat succulents.
Thanks!
