Have a sweet vivarium setup for my redfoot (his brand new indoor home while its still cool outside) and he/she is going to town on its edible arrangements. At some point is he gunna relax on it, or am i gunna have to try and regulate what he is eating? and as he is running a muck, is he still gunna eat his good produce? This stuff is edible I know for sure, but I wouldn't think it is a good "Diet" although it is varied...

quickedit... I have spider plant and snapdragons and planted Bermuda grass seeds. I plan on a few more "Safe to feed" varieties from thetortoisetable. So, in that, I do assume (as it is in the same categories as escarole, dandelions, and other staple foods) that they can be part of a staple diet?

Just some stuff I didnt think about before I created this forrest in a tank. :-/ Great idea, bad plan catagory. heh

other than that, he is in LOVE with the Vivarium. He was always secluded and never out in his tub, but now he is out of control redecorating, soaking, and if he had lips, i could see him smiling.

That's beautiful, Tim. No wonder your tortoise likes it!

Thanks!!! took hours upon hours at lowes and walmart trying to find plants that he could eat as much as he wanted, and I only came home with 2 and some grass seeds, lol. I have much more in mind once the garden centers restock for the spring, just did not expect him to eat as much as he did on his first tour of the place lol I cant wait for some of my dandelion seeds to get here too. Hard to imagine I ordered seeds for a common weed I used to pluck out of my parents yard.
