Gustav’s salad. Ffionsquarents asked to see him in his garden but that’s not very pretty right now.  I’m learning through trial and error how to grow/ harvest dandelions….and right now I’m in the ERROR part. So here he is eating his regular meal. He went into hibernation early and came out early…and man did he GROW!! Putting together plans to build him his own outdoor area this spring!

Gustav’s Garden.  Since we found out that our Russian Tortoise Gustav can eat dandelions…and in fact loves them, I made him his own little garden of them that normally they would’ve been pulled up as a weed. I just transplanted them into his own garden bed :-) We can eat them in salads too but I haven’t tried that yet!
