I'm pretty sure I've identified 2 weeds in my Hermann's outdoor enclosure as:
Gallium apanine= Catchweed, Bedstraw
Geranium carolinanum= Carolina Geranium, Wild Geranium and Crane's-bill
Anyone know if they're toxic or safe?

I found my answers: Catchweed can be eaten, but it contains natural blood thinners so should only be used in moderation to avoid issues with bleeding.
Cranesbill can be eaten but contains tannins that are bitter tasting so many torts don't care to eat it. :p
