Hello. I have hermann's tortoises and I feed them a mixture of weeds, green leaf lettuce, Timothy hay and some kale on a daily basis.
I would like to know what weed can be fed on a daily basis other than plantain leafs?
I ask because in my area the most common weeds are , plantain leaf, dandelion and clover. I know dandelion is not good to feed daily. I don't know if clover is okay. I read that plantain leaf is okay every day.
I live in NJ, what other weed grows on the east coast that I can feed daily?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Steve

Mulberry tree leaves are good for everyday. Clover not so much. Chicory is pretty common & so is mallow!

Mulberry leaves are a perfect tort food. I feed them daily. See if you have saplings in your yard too. They spread. I found over 20 from my big tree :)
