Swiss Chard

Is it possible to feed Swiss Chard to tortoises?

I bought it because I thought it was (seeds to plant)

but perhaps I dreamed that

Hi anna

I grow Swiss chard in the garden, the tortoises don't seem to keen on it when I've offered them a bit.

Oh yeah, a lot of lists have chard in the high oxlates bracket. The
young leaves are also in a few bagged salads, the ones with the bright red stalks are baby ruby chard.

Yes I bought 2 Hebe Plants because I thought they could eat and would like these
they didn't touch it at all
So the Hebe is doing well

As Kirkie said, they have it in the mixed bag salad's, mine have ate the other leaves and left the swiss chard.
