Hi guys,

The dandelions around my house are starting to get pretty tough and spiky, so I'm looking for alternatives to feed my RES.

Are any of these ok?

I'd be very careful about feeding random weeds to your turtle. Some are dangerous.

That being said, the middle one is clover, and it will be fine. I have no clue what the top one is. The bottom one might be plantain (the weed, not the banana-like fruit) and if so, it is high in calcium, but I don't feel confident enough in my id.

I agree with ljapa. Hard to know whats what. Have you thought about a gutter garden?
