I'm not sure if I can feed some of these to my Russian Tort. I have some grapes in the back so I've fed him a piece of grape leaf earlier but the other ones I'm not too sure about

Weed #1

Weed #2

Weed #3

Weed #1 is actually three different weed species, including prickly lettuce (Lactuca seriola), bristly ox-tongue (Picris echioides), and a sow thistle (either Sonchus oleraceus or Sonchus asper). I don't know Weed #2. Weed #3 looks like a brome, possibly soft chess (Bromus hordeaceus).

Prickly lettuce and sow thistle are great food items for your tortoise.

 

[stells]

weed 2 looks like Mallow also a good food source
weed 3 looks like grass lol

#1 GROWS ALL AROUND MY HOUSE AND MY TORTS LOVE IT. NOT SURE OF THE NAME.
#2 IS MALLOW, MY REDFOOT EATS IT BUT NO ONE ELSE WILL GET NEAR IT
#3 IS GRASS.

ALL ARE GREAT FOOD ITEMS FOR YOU TORTOISE.

You're russians will probably eat up the mallow, & weed 1 & 2.
I don't think any of the other ones are harmful.
The rye grass & the other grass they might not be interested in.

As soon as I get my DT, she will have plenty of mallow to munch!
The Greeks just aren't interested. They can be stubborn.
