Thanx Will. I don't feed all of one thing at a given meal, but I'm thinking if this plant is ok, I'll mix it in every 3rd or 4th day. I do that with clover and other items I've been told aren't good on a daily. I've only lived here since June and don't remember seeing this before, so it may have a limited season anyway. Then again, I wasn't looking for wild greens to utilize.https://www.canr.msu.edu/news/controlling_wild_carrot_in_hay_fields_and_pastures
The flower looks like it would be more definitive, but yeah, that looks like wild carrot.
As for feeding it regularly, if at free choice in an out door area, it would probably be okay, harvested and mixed in with other greens...?

Regularly? Is that 1% of every feeding or all of one feeding every 100 meals. That is the same quantity but different rates. I'd go for the frequent low % and see if over a year you see some negative difference.
Thanx Will
Yeah, that hemlock gets pretty thick.As I watch these plants grow I'm more convinced that it's not carrot. My search for wild edibles continues.
Two searches actually.As I watch these plants grow I'm more convinced that it's not carrot. My search for wild edibles continues.
Indeed. I planted pansies and marigolds for the flowers. Neither of which will he eat. lolTwo searches actually.
1) what they CAN eat
2) what the WILL eat
I've grown so many things just to have my tortoises not want it.
Best of luck
