🐢 Yes, desert tortoises eat dry flowers and other dry plant matter in the wild, especially when fresh forage is scarce, as this dry material provides crucial nutrients and moisture during dormancy periods. Their diet shifts seasonally, and they will consume dried grasses, leaves, and flowers along with fresh plants, herbs, and some cacti. #deserttortoise #weroamarizona #koldnews13 #arizona_hiking #arizona_landscapes #arizonahiking #azwildlife #azstateparks #capturearizona #oh_arizona #arizonahi
