[Melly-n-shorty]

Hello,
these are the three main types of weeds that grow in my yards. can you let me know if they are ok for Shorty and Duma to eat? What are some things to look for that will tell me if a week is not ok? if they are ok then i plan on adding them to their already varied diet
thanks guys and gals!

Not sure what are they. Do you have the name of each.?

nope.... they are random weeds that come up every winter and die by summer.

I feed 1 and 2 all the time. Don't know #3. I think 1 is called milk weed. Many people mistake it for dandelion. I think #2 is hawskbeard. Mine will eat it, but its not their favorite.

Does number three get those little pineapple shaped flowers? I think it might be pineapple weed. Pluck some and roll/smush it up between your thumb and forefinger and smell it. Pineapple weed has a sweet, almost pineapple smell to it. If this is what it is, it is okay for them to eat, but they probably won't pick that one first.

Unfortunately, I'm not good at identifying weeds/plants. Many people on here are great at it.
Since I don't have that ability, I use http://www.thetortoisetable.org.uk. If I can't find what I'm looking for in their database, I take a picture and email to them. They usually answer my email within a day.
