Hi,
new owner and remember as a kid (in the 70's) tortoises can eat dandelions. Is this still ok.

Yup... totally.

They love em, Why do dandelions always grow in the middle of busy roundabouts where no bugger can get them?

They like poor soil.

Spent about 15 mins picking 2 huge bags in a petrol station today. Got some very funny looks but I got some huge weeds.

i have had all of the same funny looks!! on the local fields i have kids shouting "oi, weed lady, theres some good ones over there!". i just hope no parents get the wrong i dea about the type of weed they help me with. Could be complicated!

Not going to tell anybody if it is true !!!

I nearly got arrested picking the stuff at the local College. They seem to fair well in cultivated areas.
