Kudzu

[anac1979]

Hi! Does anyone know if it is ok for Redfoots to eat Kudzu? I just recently moved to GA & there is Kudzu everywhere. It grows so fast, it is very hard to contain. It grew in my Tort pen before i knew it was even there. Needless to say, my RF ate it. They don't seen to have any adverse effects from it. Has anyone else had their Torts eat this stuff? I can't find anything about it anywhere. Any info would be great... Thanks.

The plant is edible, but the seeds are toxic.

Ok..thank you...glad to hear that..I haven't seen any seeds on it though...hhmmmm

I was gonna say that he would spread more Kudzu thru the seeds in his poop, like a bird. But I guess not. I have seen that stuff as a truck driver and I am so glad it won't grow here...

Maybe that's a new business...I can rent out my Torts to eat Kudzu...lol
