Hi
It is never good to feed just one type of plant all the time, mainly because they could get addicted to that one plant and refuse other varieties, but it would be pretty boring. Other plants have their own nutrients, so by mixing primrose with dandies plantain opuntia etc with a dusting of nutrobal, they are getting a good balanced meal.

No primrose is not safe to eat for tortoises but evening primrose is. If you are unsure of what plants just have a look on the tortoise table website, it is really good.
