Type of weeds okay for my tortoise??

[Nicole edwards]

Are these okay for my tortoise to eat? They've got purple stems and are growing little purple flowers. Just want to make sure

Here we call it creeping charlie, but I believe it's more commonly called ground ivy and it's a no-no. I don't remember why exactly, but I looked it up last summer because we have SO much of it up at the lake.

Okay my little sulcata ate some. Will it do any harm? He didn't eat a ton but probably 10 bites

Nah, it shouldn't. As with most plants that are not recommended, the concern is when they are consumed in large amounts or on a regular basis.
