Tortoises should not eat pinks (Dianthus spp.) or carnations (Dianthus caryophyllus) as these plants can be toxic to them. While some tortoises may nibble on ornamental flowers, it's best to stick to safe and natural foods like grasses, leafy greens, and certain vegetables. Always ensure that any plants offered to tortoises are free from pesticides and chemicals. If in doubt, consult a veterinarian or a tortoise care expert.

Pinks typically refer to a group of species with fringed or serrated petal edges and a more compact growth habit, often associated with the sweet-smelling Dianthus plumarius. Carnations, on the other hand, usually refer to Dianthus caryophyllus, which features larger, ruffled blooms and is commonly used in floral arrangements. While both share similar characteristics, their appearance and usage in gardening and floral design can vary significantly.
