megalon Jun 17, 2006 08:24 AM

does anyone here know what plants are bad for boxies,or know of a web site that will list both good & bad plant species?my outdoor boxie pen has honeysuckle growing on one whole side,which i'm not too concerned about.what does worry me are the morning glories popping up all over the place.right now,i'm pulling them as i see them,and replanting them around the border of my cooter pond,away from where the the turtles can get to them.thanks for any & all help!

Until we adopted the herbivore tortoise I never paid much attention to plants. I bought the Peterson's Field Guide to Poisonous Plants, it's been a huge help because I can take it outside with me to look up any strange looking plants.
Websites are helpful too so here's some URLs for ya

This one says sugar gliders but it's a good list for any animal:
