I was wondering, since my mom keeps a small garden of these herbs, can I give my RES mint? It's the one my mom maintains the most so it's the most available greens at this very moment. Should i just forget about this idea or try it? :)

For RES, I would not try giving them mint leaves.

Just try and tell us on impressions. I died of curiosity too :)

I was actually wondering this the other day as I was fiddling with my watermint plants. The turtles never nibbled when I had them all in the pond together, so I suspect they wouldn't like it or the scent was too potent.
