Add some excitement to your tortoise’s enclosure with these tortoise-friendly weeds for your tortoise to forage for. The seeds are easy to grow and seedlings will appear between 7-21 days (depending on variety selected). They can then be planted out in your tortoise enclosure or you can pick weeds to feed when they are established.
We at HappyTortoises have selected our favourites that our tortoises love to eat for you to chose from and they have the added benefit that both the flowers AND the leaves grown from the seeds can be fed to your tortoise as part of a varied diet.
Your tortoise will enjoy seeking out the delicious, healthy foods and you will enjoy watching them eagerly devour the fruits of your labour!
We also sell grow-your-own tortoise weed kits here, that have everything you need to start growing your tortoise flowers the moment you open the box!
*The deluxe weed mix contains a selection of all the varieties of weeds marked with an asterisk.
Note: please make sure that you ID any plants, weeds or flowers before feeding to your tortoise as seeds can be carried by birds, wind or already be in your soil at the time of sowing the tortoise seeds.
Additional information
Seedlings will appear in as little as 7 days.
Each seed packet comes with simple and easy-to-follow growing instructions.
Plant using organic soil (with no fertilizers or chemicals)
A sprinkle of calcium powder in the soil will provide calcium-rich plants for your tortoise
Tips for feeding the freshly grown food
You can either
pick some of the tortoise weeds and place in their food bowls as normal
or you can place the complete seed tray into their enclosure (dig into the substrate so it’s easier for your tortoise to access) then sit back and watch as they race over to devour the fruits of your labour!
or you can plant out the contents of the seedling tray in their enclosure
Other seed selections
We sell a huge range of seed selections and GYO kits for you to choose from, such as our GYO deluxe flower kits, GYO deluxe grasses kit, GYO tortoise-breed kits, to specific weeds or flower seeds that your tortoise will love. All are organic and sourced within the UK
