Corrections

If something on this site is wrong, please tell us. Corrections are acted on rather than quietly ignored, and substantive ones are noted on the page.

The most useful correction includes the page, the specific claim, and a source. We change ratings and guidance on evidence.

Challenging a food rating

Our food records carry a verdict, a reason, an evidence level and sources. If you disagree with one, bring the source and we will look at it properly.

The ratings most likely to attract challenge are the ones where we differ from common advice, particularly dandelion at moderation rather than regular, and daisies on the avoid list. Both are explained on their own pages, and both would change if the evidence changed.

Suggesting a food

The food checker covers 105 foods and searches that return nothing are logged automatically, which is how we decide what to research next.

If there is something you look up repeatedly and cannot find, tell us directly and it will move up the list.

Veterinary and specialist input

We welcome professional feedback from qualified exotics and reptile veterinarians, chelonian specialists and experienced keepers.

If you have a source-backed correction or specialist feedback about a health-adjacent page, please get in touch. Published site content is reviewed by Huzaifah Khalid, MSc Veterinary Science, a PhD student in Veterinary Science at the University of Turin, Italy; his credentials and review scope are set out on the authors page.

Commercial enquiries

We do not accept payment for coverage, placement, sponsored posts or manufacturer-supplied content. That is not negotiable and is set out in our affiliate disclosure.

Legitimate commercial enquiries, such as product specification queries or correcting outdated composition data on our pages, are welcome.

What we cannot help with

We cannot advise on a sick tortoise. We do not diagnose individual animals or provide treatment advice. If your tortoise is unwell, contact a reptile-experienced veterinarian. See our veterinary disclaimer.

We cannot identify plants from photographs. Getting that wrong has consequences, and it is not a service we are equipped to provide reliably.

We cannot recommend a specific quantity to feed your animal. Portion depends on species, age, size and season, and any number we invented would be worth less than nothing.
