The wild growing food supply for torts is becoming richer and richer.
It can be used as a food-plant occasionaly.

>>
In the books that I have read, I have found information about the round-leaved dock stating that it contains free oxalic-acid as well as oxalates.
Not as much as sorrel, but I would still not feed it in large amounts to my animals.

It is true that sorrel-plants are not the best food for our torts and that is why I do not feed it, except for one or two plants that grow by themself in their pen.
When dried, though, they are excellent! The oxalic-acid is reduced, but I only feed dried food in July and August.

I do not feed any plants of the family rumex cause they contain too much oxalic acid in my eyes.
