Default Another diet question

I was just wondering if tortoises can eat daisies?

I am guessing no to Lavender?

And there is a plant in my garden which looks just like dandilion leaves but has a fuzzy feel to it? Does any of this ring any bells?

I have loads of the above growing in the garden and i am sure she is getting bored of dandilions, red and white clover etc. I want to varyu her diet ( i will be buying some seeds as soon as)

PS: Little madam is doing very well, after a month she has finally worked out the water bowl (she pees in it lol) and uses it as part of her assault course which is over the food slate, under the bark bridge, into and over the water bowl, over the cuttlefish - all at break neck speed!

She is a madam and gets fiesty with me when i am cleaning all the dandiloon flower petals off her chin! But i do love her

You should not feed you tortoise daisies but they will not come to any harm if they have eaten some in the garden - mine tend not to eat them and I have loads in the lawn at the moment.

There is a good weed illustation guide as a sticky - I think the other weed you are refering to is sow thistle which is ok for them to eat.

I am glad to here she is doing well.
