Can box turtles eat pansies?

I just put some pansies in my Ornate box turtle's habitat and she is rubbing on them and starting to eat the flowers and leafs and i'm worried that maybe they aren't good for her? Does anyone know anything about what flowers they can have or not?

Can box turtles eat pansies?
my tortoises eat pansy flowers and it does say in the tortoise trust feeding guide that you can feed them to box turtles, yours might like petunias as well, take a look at this site http://www.tortoisetrust.org/ it has care sheets on box turtles, but they do also eat over ripe fruit i would imagine that the flowers will do yours no harm and make a pleasant change, best of luck honey,
Reply:my dogs and cats eat them all time. they are harmless to them and are kinda like vegitables i guess. i would tink that they would be fine for you turtle but then a gain i have never owned a turtle. A tip for finding out tho: i found a site with a jillion different plants sutible for my anole and those that arnt, so im guesssing their are sites fro your turtle too. Hope i helped!
