Is rhubarb leaf toxic to tortoises??
« on: May 07, 2008, 05:19:13 PM »
Hello

I have a 30 year old female yellow foot (i think) tortoise. I just wondered if she ate rhubarb leaf, which is toxic to humans, is it toxic to reptiles  Huh. It conatins a high amount of oxalic acid  Huh. Please help

Hello

update to this I have found that Oxalic acid can inhibit calcium uptake from the diet and is best to be avoided, but is not life threatening to tortoises
