COLD DARK ROOM

I would say no.
They're not actually toxic as such, but as members of the legume family are all too high in protein and some unpleasant acids.
This normally refers to the peas themselves, primarily, but I wouldn't chance the leaves either, they surely won't have the right calcium/phosphorus level at best. A nibble won't hurt, but I wouldn't make it a part of the diet, even in moderation.

Ok thanks. I had some left over from tea tonight and wondered...
When I researched myself I found mixed opinions some said no and others said they were fine - just obv not the peas or the shoots

Probably best not risking it, but thought it would be worth getting a second opinion

Anyhow I am up in 6 hours for work so better get some sleep!
Goodnight

yeah, they won't be as bad as the pea or shoot, I expect, not really dangerous, just probably not of much benefit and maybe a little harm.

Have a good night, Kirsty, and a good day at work tomorrow.
See you in the evening, I hope.
Night night.

Evening, Meech.
Sorry, offline for a while as my computer was busy doing stuff.
Nice day ?

Very nice day. Didn't do anything!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Very nice day. Didn't do anything!

That sounds good.
Me neither!

 

[Moozillion]

Nos da, Lyn.
Have a good day tomorrow.
Sleep tight.

What does 'Nos da' mean?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

What does 'Nos da' mean?

Tis Welsh for good night.
Lyn is Welsh and I am half Welsh, so we sometimes say goodnight in Welsh.

In the 1950's there were hundreds but now the UK has only about 15 registered professional ventriloquists.
The name means 'stomach talker'.
There was even a radio ventriloquist!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

There are 280,000 heroin and crack addicts in Britain.
And 50,000 practitioners of alternative medicine.
And 75,000 people in prison.
And 10,000 practicing Druids led by the Archbishop of Glastonbury and Stonehenge whose mane is Rollo Maughfling.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

So, what is a Birmingham screwdriver ?

 

[jaizei]

Hammer

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Hammer

Yep.
Thanks, Cameron.
Rather hoping someone would say cocktail, but never mind
Brummagem is an old word for someone from Birmingham and Brummagemware something of poor quality that comes from there.
Birmingham workers were considered to be a bit oafish so a Birmingham screwdriver is indeed a hammer.
They used hammers to drive in screws . (allegedly)

Good evening Adam, Wifey and Tidgy. Thanks your question BOSS.

So far so good, though Oli is still not used to this type of food. I've been stuffing some mizuri into his mouth while he'd be eating lettuce, (like you do with Tidgy). Goodness, what a pair those two would make. But he still has not touched the cuttlebone for some reason or other.

Three of my turtles never touched their various cuttlebones for mooooonths and months and months. Then one day I go outside and see this;

Almost half of it was gone over the course of 12 hours. Today, most of what was left is gone. I'm assuming it's my female that laid five random eggs as she was walking around. But before this, it was never touched. Do you eat eggs? If you crack open an egg to make scrambled or sunny side up or over easy etc, take the egg shells and put them in Ollie's enclosure. My one turtle prefers munching on those over the cuttlebone.
