Thanks.

sorry make that Chamomile. sorry spelt it wrong. they're like little daisys with long stalks and thin leaves, they grow in bushes.

I keep picking things on the way home from picking up my daughter and then checking on here if my tortoise can eat it. So far I've only had rose petals, geraniums and cactus. But I'll keep on looking for different weeds.

Thanks for all the pics they're very helpfull.

Default weeds...

This is great...I struggle to know which weeds I can give my torts. I did buy a 'wild flower' book but I find it hard to identify some of the plants cos of scale etc. Just wondering though, if I picked the wrong thing by mistake would the torts have enough sense not to eat it?...Mine have a limited choice as I err on the side of caution and don't give them anything I'm not 100% sure is what I think it is
