wild plants

[Maggotlyfe]

Is there any list that will explain what wild plants and weeds slucatas can eat? I would like to start picking stuff on my walks.
Thanks

Take a look at this list, and scroll down to where it says "weeds."

I also found this site, which will show pictures to go along with the scientific names

http://www.msuturfweeds.net/

Not everything on the second site is edible - you have to cross reference with the first one. The second one is just so you can see what the plants actually look like. I am working on getting pitcures and common/scientific names of the weeds put together as a page on my website, so it will be easier without having to google pics and go back and forth.

I have read the Russ Gurley book about Sulcatas. You can also try www.africantortoise.com/edible_landscaping.htm and turtlestuff.com/avoidthese.html.
