Zinnias

[thatrebecca]

We were thinking of tossing some zinnia seeds in our CDT enclosure to create shade on top of the burrow. I've seen them on lists of foods that are good for torts and foods that are bad. Anyone had any experience with them? We're not expecting them to be a major food source, but the torts will have access to them.

the tortoisetable says they are safe to feed both flowers and leaves

My torts take an occasional bite or two during a drive-by. It's not a fan favorite, but they're safe and help with the variety and decor.

Pansies too. But these are not a problem to your torts(the zennias)

Cool, thanks, everybody!
