I Throw at least 20 water lettuce plants away every weekend. Seems a waste. They just do too well in my pond. I heard water hyacinth is ok. Has Any body ever fed water lettuce to your tortoises?
emysemys said:I got different results from a GOOGLE search. Some said it belongs to the astericae family and is edible and others say it belongs to the philodendron family, and supposedly not edible. However, forest tortoises seem to be able to eat plants from this family with no ill effects. I would say that if you offer it and the tortoise eats it, you can probably make it be a part of your varied diet.
