1 is clover, they can eat both. Not sure of the others but picture 3 is dock - inedible.

1 clover... red clover is it? mine aren't really keen on it.

It is sometimes best to see a picture of the whole plant in situ, but No 1. is Red Clover fed in moderation.
No2 & 4 is looking like a Nipplewort leaf pos.
The other is Dock.

That looks a bit too shiney to be Nipplewort...
Nipplewort is very thin, and soft and floppy....

That looks way too shiney and thick... So I would say its not.

Agree with the others - red clover fine in moderation - leaves and flowers (watch out for rust on the leaves though..odd brown spots on them (confirm on rust anyone..?..)
The pic in 3 is Dock - toxic and inedible. xx

Yeah does look shiney in the pic, first guess Nipplewort leaf young, need's confirming anyone. Red Clover read somewhere the flower's when dried out become toxic. There again how much toxicity can a Tortoise handle from wild plant's

.

Yeah but what about this rust thing...I think we touched on this before, Paul. I am not sure but...is it those brown dots that suddenly appear on the leaf.
I notice as well....that when coming to the end of the autumn..the leaves do look like that top pic on this thread after a while, sort of whitey dusty look..
I dont pick them when i see that whitey dusty look...I start to think, sprayed by somebody, Council etc...(i dunno...could be totally wrong) xx

This time of year i think it is proned to mildew like a powdery fungus, i avoid it when like this.

yuna1971 · 26-10-2011, 07:58 PM

So is THAT what it looks like then...on that pictured clover on this post.

I find it nearly all goes like that about this time of year...yeah..

Some look's worse like a talc effect rub it with a finger (the plant leaf), if it comes off, fungus mould.
