Me again .. Just wanted to find out what indoor plants can I place in my Tortoises' home..Maybe something he can nibble on/To hide amongst...I have an indoor Aloe vera plant but its not very leafy. I am thinking of something he can hide in..Any suggestions would be great! Thanks Claire 

ps I thought the Spider plant was safe, but am thinking now I am wrong...Or im gettting muddled up with something else lol

Hi Claire,

Have you thought of trying plastic plants for indoors? I have some plastic spider plants and also ferns and my babies love them?

I've not done well at keeping plants alive in the indoor enclosure.  I think its the heat, the drought and the constantly being trampled by tortoise that does it.  One idea I use now that works is to place a plant in its pot in the enclosure, removing it after a couple of weeks and placing it somewhere more suitable to recover. I place a different plant there to get a turn, and rotate them.  This provides a bit of decoration and the plant doesn't get destroyed. I do it so the tortoise cannot reach the leaves as they might eat any plant when kept indoors and have little else to do.
