hi all. in my neighbours garden which is somewhat of a junggle there is an abbundance of sticky bud plants the leaves are sticky to, as kids we used to throw little buds at each other and they would stick to clothes and hair. do you know what i mean? well any way are these ok for torts to eat. i did put some in daisys enclosure today but she didnt seem too keen.

Hi

My adults quite enjoy these, and we have loads at the bottom of the garden, but Im sure there is something in them which means that they are OK occasionally, but shouldnt be fed on a regular basis - will try and find out more and get back to you

Ah, found it, also known as goose grass or cleavers, contains glycosides, and digitalis and should only be fed occasionally as part of a varied diet

HTH

thanks for that. she didnt seem keen on it anyway will offer it every now again and see if she changes her mind. where do you get the info from, is there a book or anything? 

Not Arlene

but have you checked the links section of this web site as there are several links to online sites providing info on toxic and non toxic plants which might help.
