I buy different kinds of greens from the market; arugula, artichoke, cress, dill, lettuce, red cabbage, iceberg.
I also collect mulberry leaves, grape leaves and roses from the outside. But I live in the apartment and I do not have a garden. So I have to grow weeds in pots. I started growing the things from the seed he would love. wheatgrass, violet, dandelion, cactus. So what are the weeds you gathered from the garden? I would like to buy their seeds and grow them.
I try to give him various foods. I went to the park this morning and collected aloe vera with root because I want to grow it for him at home. He ate it without leaving a piece ? and I'll give him jasmine tomorrow. I hope he liked it. View attachment 296283
Yes it is, jasmin (jasminum)I do not think jasmine is safe to feed and has a milky residue
Last year I filled the backyard (Zippy’s backyard) all with plants on the Sulcata Edible Landscape list, with the apparently unrealistic idea that he would nibble as he walked, as he does with grass. He does eat this way with some plants, like strawberries. But mostly he finds a plant he likes that day and mows it down. I solved this behavior for the time being by surrounding plants I care about, like Hosta, with temporary fencing and for some reason he is respecting the little fences. When the plant gets big enough to spill over the fence, he can eat that part but no more. He’s about 20” long now and could easily flatten these little fences but so far, so good. I realize this is probably temporary but I might get enough time for some plants (bushes) to grow tall enough that he can’t destroy them.
