these are some of the plants/bushes i use

For food

Pansies, Campanula,Lavatera,Mallows,Forget Me Nots,Petunias.

mind not many of them last long if the torts can reach themClick and drag me down to the editor my biggies

have the whole garden so i try to put little picket type fences round some of the plants so that they last abit longer.

in the little ones enclosures i use the bendy little log hut/stick things to put round some plants so that they cant pig out all at once

for shade

Rosemary,Thyme, Lavender,Hebe

i know what you mean, i bought my little ones some pansies and they ate them all on the first day. I wanted a bigger plant that they can shade under but they can also eat. I've heard alot of people reccommend hebe and lavender so ill try them :D thanks alot. Brilliant ideas
