Are sunflower+rhubarb leaves okay for millipedes?

[k4ngl]

I got both from a garden, and I know they aren't using any pesticides or anything + I've found lots and lots of baby millipedes of the same species crawling around in the soil, but I wanted to make sure before I put them in my millipedes tank :3

You answered your own question, to be safe probably try one or the other I would pick sunflower over rhubarb.

TOXIC. High concentration of oxalic acid.

Sunflower leaves are edible and even used in various exotic cuisines.

This time of year many leaves are falling.
Much Mulch to Munch.lol
No need for rhubarb, excepting pies of course.

I would not know. My point is that too many people make an assumption or comment it's safe for X, (often humans). This leads some OPs to think it is safe for Y (their pet), and w/out actual knowledge or data presented, it's a claim and nothing more. It's not helpful.

Hmm. There is a sunflower borer, Papaipema rigida, a sunflower beetle, Calligrapha exclamationis, quite a few species of ants. Looking more like is there anything that doesn't like munching sunflower leaves?
