Juniper

Does anyone know if this evergreen shrub/bush is dangerous to torts in anyway?

Double checking here....I don't see it on the list so I wanna ask. Fushia's, are they ok for Russians and Greeks to eat?

Torts4me, I looked back over some older posts this is what I found regarding Fushia's

So yes, i would say fushia is good to eat and hide in which is a bonus.

No problem Torts4me, I had the same question about Fushas some time ago and was glad to see that post here and it was talked about on other sites I visited. Some said their torts really didn't eat it much just used it as cover, others said their torts loved the flowers. I am working on a list with plants and landscaping as well as sites for identification of plants and what plants torts can eat and/or use as landscaping. This is set to be stickied to the food, plant, diet section. More updates to come.
