Grass question

[Scotts_Radiated]

Hello everyone i'm new to the board
Is st. augustine grass ok for my torts to graze on? I have read where people let their torts graze on bermuda but i have not seen anything about st augustine. I assume its ok but i just want to be sure also are some lawn grasses better than others?

have not filled out my sig yet but i have 3 torts
0.0.1 Radiated
0.0.1 Indian Star
1.0.0 Sulcata

Thanks Scott

I got my Aldabrans from a breeder who fed all of his torts mostly St. Augustine. He had a huge property that he would use a push mower on so he could bag all the clippings for the torts. I paid his higher price because his animals were the best looking I could find.

If you look under my posts you can see I have posted quite a few pics of my torts and they are doing very good.


Hope this helps.

Just make sure no chemicals have been used.

Damn another misleading post,
It is safe but mine don't really seem to like it.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! This a great site with tons of info i have learned so much already.
Chipdog great looking aldabras, If i ever get a fence put up it will be just a matter of time before i get one. I came very close at this years Daytona breeders expo but talked my self out of it because of the fence issue. I ended up buying a baby star instead and just a couple of weeks ago i got my radiated.
I have been putting my sulcata out in the backyard in a portable dog pen for a few hours every couple of days to graze on the grass and my plan was to do the same with my radiated, so i just wanted to be sure it was ok.
