summary from an email of the mailing list: Schildifutter - Mailingsliste from Annett Werner
>>
All around the year you can find the leaves of the blackberries because they are evergreen. For this reason they are also suitable for winter feeding. They are a valuable enrichment of the menue. 
It is helpful to carry scissors while collecting, because of their thorns.
I generally wash the leaves of the blackberry before feeding to remove any residue of bird droppings.
My torts eat them in small amounts.

Who doesn't know the thorny and rampant blackberry hedges?
The bushes have sharp thorns and in any case it is a good idea to carry gloves. Still it is worthwhile to collect these wild berries and leaves as they are more aromatic than the cultivated ones which you can buy at the shops.
