I have a leopard tortoise, about 4 years old. I pulled some dandelions and fed them to my tortoise. Later my husband told me he sprayed the dandelions yesterday with Ferti Lomé. What should I do?

I would soak him in warm water for a good while and hope he passes stools quickly.....maybe you didn't feed enough to harm him.

I soaked her for about an hour. No stool. I’m going to do it several more times and hope that does it.

It is stump and shrub killer.
The Stump & Shrub killer looks a lot more harmful. I would definitely be soaking your tortoise for long periods of 5ime for a few (really many) days...

I just soaked him again and he passed a good stool. Could see some of the dandelion in it. So hopefully we’re ok.
