Does anyone know if Abelmoschus manihot is an appropriate feed for tortoises? It grows prolifically here in Hawaii. It is also known as bele, slippery cabbage, aibika, sunset hibiscus, and Hibiscus manihot and belongs to the family Malvaceae. The tortoises love it. I'm hoping someone on this group will be able to help. Thanks!

Leaves and flowers are edible. Should be fine as part of a varied diet.
