Is Wild Rhubarb safe?

[AdamStage]

I have what I have been told is wild Rhubarb all over in the back of my property. I can't find it anywhere to see if it's safe for my Leo to eat. Has anyone seen this plant or know if it's safe? Thanks

I don't think that's wild rhubarb. It looks more like dock. I always try to dig out dock before it goes to seed. The seed stalk contains hundred and hundreds of seeds and are not good for tortoises to eat. Be sure to dig up the whole root, as new plants will grow from a chopped off root. The root looks like a big carrot.

Thank you both for your insight. Like I said someone told me it was rhubarb but I wasn't 100% sure.
