I have a few Plumeria in pots in my back yard. The leaves and flowers do fall off occasionally. Are they poisonous to a Desert tortoise? I can remove them if need be. I searched around and cant seem to find an answer....
Thanks!
They are NOT on this list.....

Thats a good sign!
Dang, I removed "tortoise" from my search and found...
Just a word of caution - "Plumeria" belongs to the Dogbane Family (Apocynaceae) which contains other poisonous plants such as Nerium or Oleander. The fleshy branches of frangipani ooze a poisonous milky sap when cut and the leaves of oleanders are highly poisonous.
Looks like Im moving my Plumerias.
