  I’m planning on planting some rabbit/tortoise safe veggies in my tort’s enclosure for him to munch on. Is there a salmonella risk of feeding my buns part of the plants that grow in there?

  Personally I wouldn’t risk it. From what I’ve read rabbits can get salmonella, and since tortoises can be carriers I would think there’s always the potential for contamination. I’d err on the side of caution. I also have a bunny and a tortoise
