Cha cha cha chia

[cmitch]

I want to grow food for my redfoot unfortunately I don't have green thumb at all! Could I put one of those chia pets in his enclosure to eat off? Lol also thinking going try grow barley grass indoors. What other plants that they like are easy to grow inside?

Forget the chia pet and just get chia seeds to plant in his enclosure.

There are other seeds that sprout quickly, such as red clover and chicory. You have lots of choices, and they're really as easy as toss the seed in, water it, and wait.

is the chia nutritious?

Chia seeds are very nutricious for us. We put em in drinks, sprinkle em on toast, salads etc just drink a lot of water I never thought of sprouting some for Echo. Hmm. I sprout chia, brocc, chickpeas, clover etc for us using a sprouter in the kitchen, I was wondering if I can give Echo some of the suitable sprouts or? I'm going to try to grow some chia today.

Check out thetortoisetable.org for plant ideas. Clover and chia can be fed to torts. Carolina pet supply has many seeds for sale you can grow. I grew some indoors last winter just in coconut coir. Worked pretty good.
