Hi Mr Camillenoir, i have a question about a plant. My tortoise ate a small piece of it and i wonder if it's edible?

Here is some pictures of the plant

those are Youngia japonica, been known to be eaten as salad

Thank you very much, is it good for tortoise?

yup, they're good. i have no idea on the specific nutrient contents, but plants from genus Youngia/Crepis are edible by tortoise and known for their antiviral properties.

We had a Q&A session with the Wildlife Department in Shah Alam yesterday morning, and it seems like there is still a chance for keepers who still had not declared their scheduled tortoises and turtles.

For those affected by Act 716 (Peninsular Malaysia), it is advisable to declare any scheduled species before the grace period ends in June. Once the Act is fully operational (it had been enforced but so far no actions had been taken) there would be no excuse to not have permits as the authorities had given not once, but 2 chances to get them legalized.

Another session will be conducted in Langat area very soon, and every state branch in the peninsular will conduct them. So if you have any doubts, questions, or simply want to express concern or dissatisfaction, please attend these sessions. I will try to post information regarding times and venues as best as I could.

Noted..it is my bad not attend yesterday one..i just want to meet all my sifoos...hahahaha

LOL ye bro.. event ni pagi, bukan petang

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and guys, please go and declare your red eared sliders or you might have to bear fines not exceeding RM30000 and jailtime.
