Hi Kerry,

Sycamore doesn't appear to have any known toxicity

should be ok but not something I've seen as suggested feeding.

Hi Kerry,

Whilst we don't actually feed them to ours, our adults eat them when they fall from the tree at the end of the garden and have done so for years without any ill-effects. I was surprised the first time I caught them eating them and have never come across anything on sycamore leaves(good or bad)
