Hello, I found this list here recently on Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_leaf_vegetablesIt gives us an impression how many plants are used as food and are possible also suitable for degus and other pets. In addition I'm working out a plant list with American herbs/weeds. It is pretty comprehensive and many species are also common here in Europe. That means, that I can use my experience and knowledge for many plants.

WOOHOO!!! This makes me very excited, Davx!!
I am really quite useless when it comes to plants. As a student, I excelled when it came to understanding the biology of animal organisms, but when it came to plants??? OI!! I completely bombed! It was like I was trying to learn . . . high math . . . which I also never could grasp, though I tried. I don't know why, but the deep knowledge of plants, their genus etc., their compounds . . . it's like I'm completely drowning with little hope. So, I can't tell you how greatly I appreciate the work you are doing!!! I am absolutely thrilled about this, especially with regard to the American species.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Faith, here is the list: octodons.ch/index.php/HerbsI think I will improve some details and add a little more plants, but in general it is pretty complete beyond the plant species (american plant flora is much more diverse).

WOW!! I've had a very quick look through, am LOVING the pictures because those REALLY help , and that is a great list!! I'll have to look through it in much more detail and take down the names of those that grow in my area, or areas I will be traveling through as the growing season comes and progresses. Then I can start to harvest. This is a truly WONDERFUL tool, Davx! I can't thank you enough!!

I will come back to this one! I suddenly don't have much time to check stuff as the new babies are very active. They need the best of stuff so hopefully will use this site a lot. Tonight they had a little bit of fresh dandelion - all 3 love it
