Mulberry Branches

[Roachman26]

We had some heavy winds here a couple of days ago and my Mulberry tree blew over. Are these branches safe to use in my roach enclosures? I feed the leaves to many different herbivores and my beaver eats, or at least chews up, the branches with no ill effect. Just being extra cautious.

Also I found a bunch of these leaves from a known safe source. I think they are maple. Are these good to go too?

Maple leaves are fine; Not 100% sure on the mulberry but I'd say they're fine as well.

Most any leaves are fine if they are not from a soft-wood species like Pines and such.
