I agree with Tyanna, but I would be surprised if your torts LIKED it. My sulcata nibbles herbs now and again, but doesn't seem to be a fan of their strong flavors. I will be interested to know if your torts like the basil. Please keep me posted

Ha ha! Looks like I posted this one second too late! I'm not too surprised to hear that, but would have tried it out if you had positive results.

I guess I'm a little late too! I'm gonna say it again, it'd be a bit of a surprise if your torts ate it. Mine don't like herbs (of ANY kind!) and greens like spinach and arugula that come in boxes at the store

Mine only its arugula if it's mixed in with other greens. He's not usually picky but if I try to do a small meal of arugula he's like NOPE.

too bad, too, because that can actually be healthy!

Mine looooves arugula!

Use the basil to make delicous pesto! After eating the pesto you'll have tons of energy to care for your tortoise.
