Possibly a sunflower(? Is it safe?

[BaldTheCod]

I don't really know what plant this is, looks like a sunflower, it looks pretty and I was curious to feed it to my one year old tort, but first I wanted to know if it's safe for her to eat before making a decision we both might regret, what do you guys think?

Yes. Sunflower, not toxic, but apparently not very appetizing as my tortoises won’t eat the leaves.

I am a bit more curious of the flower petals, but since the leaves are safe then I guess I'll give it a shot

Thanks y'all, I'll be giving this one just as a little snack for my tort, I'll probably feed her sunflowers just this one time xd, trying my best to give her some variety

Yeah you're right man, she took a nibble out of a small leaf I offered and she hated it XD, she went for the petals instead
