[chameleoman]

I know is a bizarre question and topic but would there be anything beneficial from tea leafs like the dried one in the little tea baggies i love tea i made some earlier thats when it hit me why isnt tea leaves used? Does anybody use it, has anybody ever thought of it.

I would imagine that the caffeine could be a problem?

I don't think that's a good indicator...let's see the caffeine content of basil or alfalfa or other "good for feeders" food....I suspect they're right up there. Plants contain stuff we'd never imagine. I recently checked into alfalfa pellets (we feed them to our guinea pigs) and discovered they were 17% protein. Who would have guessed that?

Point taken. Thanks for the correction.

A big reason why people use alfalfa is because of its high protein content? Also good calcium....

what about growing your own tea leaves and drying them out and then putting it into a dry gutload mix
