Hi
1.Yes its that plant!!!!
2. Dandelions are realy on of the best foods for Torts! and should make up main part of their Diet in captivity
3. Dont know exactly but execellten calcium:phosopor!!!!
: Hi all. I have some questions about the plant Dandelions. First of all, are dandelions the flowers that get those small yellow flowers that eventually turn into " white cotton balls" that if you blow on them the white part comes of very easily?
: From what I understand, dandelions also have arrow shaped leaves, and that dandelions are an excellent source of food for tortoises....is this true?

: My second question is, Can dandelions become a staple food for tortoises, or should I use it sparrigly?

: My third and last question is, what nutrional value do dandelins have?

:
: If you can help me answer any or all of these questions I will appreciate this very much. Thank you in advance, Miguel.
