I'm moving to a new place soon and i'm preparing for a leopard or star tortoise.
This new place has a small yard full of these.
What are they called and are they safe for tortoise?

Sow thistle. It's edible and good for greek and russian tortoises...probably star as well but I am not so familiar w/these species.

You might want to wait a little bit to let everything grow out in case there was any pesticide or herbicide application by the previous owners of your new house...

cool :cool: remember to check in the diet and food section re: your star tortoise's ideal diet, they might eat more grasses than the forb loving desert types I'm more familiar with ;)
