Can they eat them

 

[Kapidolo Farms]

the first one looks like Chamomile, I'd like to see the whole plant, but if so, yes they can eat it. The forth image (third flower type) looks like some sort of clover, again I'd like to see the whole plant, and that too is okay to feed. I don't know the others.

I can’t keep track of the photos any more so I’m going to go by the ones in your last post.

#1 I can’t tell from that picture, sorry! Might be wild carrot.

#2 looks like a mint or a bee balm, something in the Lamiales family. What does it taste like? They usually have a very strong scent or taste.They’re generally safe but most tortoises won’t eat them because of the strong scent.

#3 might be a wild carrot. Taste a leaf, does it remind you of carrot?

#4 is scabiosa, safe in small quantities

#5 and #6 I don’t know

#7 is some kind of coneflower, safe.

#8 I think is wild carrot again. Can you see how the leaves look like the leaves of carrots we buy at the store? Opinions vary. The Tortoise Table says absolutely not, I’m not sure I agree with their logic, a little bit on occasion shouldn’t be a problem, imo. It may not matter, as many tortoises won’t eat it.

Wild carrot has almost the same appearance as poison hemlock which can cause death if ingested so I wouldn’t even try.

Theres a nice app on googleplay - plantnet. It takes a picture, you need to determine its a leaf or a flower and you get usually few possible choices.

Certainly better to be safe than sorry but they are actually fairly easy to tell apart once you get to know them. If nothing else you can tell from the smell. This video might be useful: https://www.google.com/search?q=how...TF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari#imgrc=_&kpvalbx=1.
