So- I have a couple of weeds that I need to know if they are tortoise safe- I have a Russian Tortoise.
If it helps- I live in the suburbs of Chicago. Thanks in advance!!


#1-Yellow flower type thing
#2- first grass/bush looking thing
#3 second grass/ bush looking thing
#4- second smallest leaf- has some yellow
#5- smallest leaf- tiny circles ( about the size of fingernails)
#6- left bigger leaf- has jagged looking edges ( not enough to harm a tortoise's throat)
#7- smooth bigger leafIMG_2519.jpg IMG_2523.JPG IMG_2524.JPG IMG_2522.jpg
#8- right bigger leaf- i think its the same as #8

You've got a jonquil or daffodil - avoid. Bulbs are generally toxic. The second plant in the photo with many leaves is creeping Charlie. Avoid it.

Too many plants posted at once to keep track of. Looks like lilies of some kind. Day lilies are good for tortoises, but the others are toxic.
