What's is? Is it edible?

[ustwoandthekids]

. Can you tell me what is is and can I feed to my tortoises?

 

[Tom]

Don't know that one. Some plants are regional. It might help if we knew where you are in the world.

Take a look at post #28 in this thread:

http://www.tortoiseforum.org/thread-14564.html

and see if it matches your plant.

[Yvonne G]

Looks somewhat like wild buttercup. I'm in the USA Pacific Northwest, and we have a maritime type climate here. This stuff grows everywhere on my land. I've had horses who didn't eat it, and the only reference I've found in regard to feeding a tortoise this plant was a family deliberately feed large amounts of the yellow flowers to their tortoise and that this poisoned, mortally, their tortoise. I remove it from my pen as best I can, but my russians and Sulcatas are not interested in it. I remove all flowers from these habitats.

Thanks for replys think I will just get rid of it to be safe, I am no good at plant identification :/

Pull up some of the plant and take it to a good garden center for id. They should have someone on staff well versed in weed I.D.
