Is 'Cat Grass' harmful?

[callum-dixon]

Please could anyone tell me if 'Cat Grass' is harmfull to Star tortoises?

As i'll soon be picking my new tortoises up i'm starting to grow weeds, lettuce etc at home. I came across cat grass today and i know Indian Stars are grazers and therefore grass is vital to their diet. As i live in the UK and the weather isn't always great for these guys to be outside, i was thinking this would be a good substitute?!

Any advice as always is appreciated

What is Cat Grass? The stuff you buy at the pet store for cats to graze on? I think that is usually oat or wheat grass, and should be ok.

Yeah thats exactly what it is - ts just wheat grass. From what i've read there are no chemicals added to it. I just wanted to double check before i fed it to them. You dont think it would cause a problem then?

Wheat Grass is fine. I have started adding it to my salads since it is to cold for them to go outside now.
