Strawberry clover (Trifolium fragiferum) is a low-growing clover species with rounded green leaves and distinctive pink, strawberry-shaped flower heads. It spreads easily and grows well in moist soils and open grassy areas.
Strawberry clover is beneficial for tortoises because it is safe to eat in moderation and provides fiber and natural plant nutrients that support healthy digestion. The soft leaves and flowers are easy for tortoises to graze, making it a good plant for encouraging natural foraging behavior. When offered as part of a varied, mixed-plant diet, strawberry clover can help mimic the diverse vegetation tortoises encounter in the wild.
