Making sure these plants are ok

[Bowser-the-Redfoot]

Hey guys, I just want to make sure these plants are ok for a redfoot tortoise...

Dandelion...
Red Clover...
Hibiscus...
Sage...
Sea Grape...
Heather...
Boston Fern...
And I was thinking like some small Palm trees and some Bamboo... But he won't be able to eat those leaves.

Thanks for your time

My tortoises eat dandelion, red clover, hibiscus,and sage (Salvia Greggi). Not sure about the rest.

dandelion, clover and hibiscus are all fine, except they won't last long as they are favorite foods

heather, sage and true bamboo are fine. Watch out for lucky bamboo, its poisonous.

Ferns are considered unsafe for eating. As long as they leave them be they are fine, just have to watch it. I believe its the same deal for palms. Mine nibble on them now and again, but never really eat them.

no idea on the sea grape, sorry.

this is a helpful site

in the list i have the only safe fern is an asparagus fern. everyone already commented on the ones i know, but hibiscus flowers and leaves especially are REALLY good for your tort. dandelion will turn your tort's pee brown if they eat too much, but it doesn't hurt them. just a head's up!
