can anyone tell me if it is ok to feed clover everyday? as it is plentiful now and free, that is not all i will be feeding, but they do love it so, also is it a diuretic like dandelions? thanks

I'm sure, I've read somewhere that clover is quite high in calcium, so wouldn't feed too much too often..

Maybe just give it as a treat every couple of days Or pick some grass for them instead

Clover , or trefoil, is a genus of about 300 species of plants in the leguminous pea family Fabaceae. The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution; the highest diversity is found in the temperate Northern Hemisphere, but many species also occur in South America and Africa, including at high altitudes on mountains in the tropics. They are small annual, biennial, or short-lived perennial herbaceous plants. The leaves are trifoliate , with stipules adnate to the leaf-stalk, and heads or dense spikes of small red, purple, white, or yellow flowers; the small, few-seeded pods are enclosed in the calyx. Other closely related genera often called clovers include Melilotus and Medicago The "shamrock" of popular iconography is sometimes considered to be young clover. The scientific name derives from the Latin tres, "three", and folium, "leaf", so called from the characteristic form of the leaf, which has three leaflets hence the popular name trefoil.
