Hello.
Need to ask whether african hibiscus a.k.a rosella flower is edible for our tort. I think the flower is hard. I read @Tom have the plant in his thread discussion but not mention about the flower. Help is needed here.

Also, i found this grass growing in my hibiscus pot. Can i feed this to my baby sulcata. But it also looks a bit hard and fibrous or what is the word.

Definite yes on the rosella. They can eat the whole plant. Leaves, calyxes, stem and flowers. That is a really good sulcata food. Let some go to seed for planting next year.

I don't know about the other plant. Some sort of bamboo?

Hello everyone,
I'm not sure if anyone will reply to me in this thread since it is an old one

But I've started to grow this plant and I'm wondering if it any good to a young Greek spur-thighed?

Much appreciated
