I am starting to incorporate more natural things into my torts diet. He is a Russian. He doesn't always like the weeds so I generally mix a little bit of store bought food with it so that he gets at least a few mouth fulls. Right now tons of the plants and weeds are in bloom. After identifying if they are safe I'm going to try out each one and see which ones he will mostly eat and comprise a list in order to increase variety.
Right now I'm trying thistle. Not exactly sure which kind but it has little spines. I've heard that they can eat them, but they even hurt me and I don't want to risk anything especially because it is a new food and I want him to like it. Is it ok to remove the spines as best as possible?
Thanks
