Feeding and Nutrition :: Can you feed your turtle weed?

[j919]

Yea so the thought occurred to me and I was wondering if it was alright for them since its dried plant matter. Also would Nepeta Cataria aka catnip be ok?

I'm going to venture a guess and say no.

I'd say no also because you're supposed to feed turtles nutritional plants.

[rsour24]

no, why would you even want to?

Diamnond Back, Hemp seed and hemp oil are extremely nutritious, they have even been called superfoods. Maybe you should do your own research and make up your own mind instead of following the herd blindly.

He was not talking about hemp seed or hemp oil. Marijuana is under the list of poisonious plants to feed turtles.

@tokapeli- I am completely open minded about marijuana use, but it is silly to assume an animal would enjoy a random ”buzz” because they are bored. You can't know what an animal is thinking, any sort of mood or mind altering drug would be confusing i'm sure. As an adult feel free to make your own decisions about what you put in your body, but giving recreational drugs to animals for no reason would be considered abuse in my book.
