Are figs okay for leopard tortoises? Or fig leaves?
Are their multiple types of "fig trees" common in the US, and are all of them safe?Figs are okay occasionally as a treat, good source of calcium.
Fig leaves are also fine. The sap map be an irritant, tho I think that's more to human skin than to reptiles.

Part of that depends on how you define "fig tree." Ficus species include a number of ornamental plants like weeping fig (Ficus benjamina) and rubber plant (Ficus elastica), as well as the kinds of figs with edible fruits. I've seen and dealt with the sap that comes out of the ornamental varieties, and I agree with @Maro2Bear about not feeding those.Are their multiple types of "fig trees" common in the US, and are all of them safe?
