Snowy Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Rhubarb is toxic in large quantities. It can cause long term liver and kidney damage. Not to worry if you see them taking the occasional nibble, but don't feed it to them. Same applies to raw potato and potato plants. Dry bread is harmful as it can swell in their crops and cause impacted crop. Soak it and feed it to them as a sloppy porridge. But only as a treat - too much will make them fat and cause a reduction in egg laying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
