Anyone tried or know if henbit is safe to feed?

Got LOTS of henbit in our yard and was wondering if this was safe to feed to hermit crabs. Anyone ever tried it? Thanks.

I haven't heard of it, but it's in the mint family and I can't find any information saying it's harmful. If it hasn't been exposed to herbicides or pesticides you can try offering it, otherwise just eat them yourself.

Edit: don't eat something that was recently sprayed.
