I dried lots by putting in a very low temperature oven.

They didn't touch them!

In all fairness I had plenty of weeds coming up when I needed them, even though they were very small.

I have been thinking about trying again this year as I have so much plantain and a good size and hadn't dried this before.

The other idea I have is to grown some weeds in trays before they wake up so they have variety early on. Shelled warrior shop sells them. I know some people have reported the difficulty of growing them, but I had no problem. I can grow weeds better than flowers! Just keep in mind that just one seed tray can go in one sitting.

I did buy some dried weeds from the pet shop, after having complained on here how expensive they were. As was pointed out you have to think of the work involved and guarantee safety etc. So perhaps not so expensive. They didn't eat those either.

For the same price you can buy some lambs lettuce (considered a weed) which mine love.
