Ok. Did some reading and rhubarb is a definite no but it says spinach as a treat is fine in moderation but too much and the oxalate acid can accumulate in system. Its not that the acid is concentrated enough to be toxic but rather it interferes with calcium absorption. I just started giving it to them last week, twice so far. I took the spinach out of their food bowl just to be safe. It does have immediate effect on their feathers though. Brilliant coloring and they run around like the hulk..for sure.
