Snow peas?

I bought a bag of snow peas for me to snack on but the girls were looking at me with drool dripping from their lips because I had a crunchy veggie and they didn't. Are snow peas okay for them to have? I didn't see them on the veggie list.

Are they pea-wags?

Mine showed interest, but then disgust when I offered them a nibble.

I just gave them 1 pod each thinking it can't hurt them that bad. And they both DEVOURED them! Now I REALLY need to know if they can eat them in their daily diet!

You'd have to check the Ca:P ratio for daily diet questions but they're definitely ok for treats. I love, love, love sugar snap peas (similar to snow peas but with a thick pod. My boys wouldn't have anything to do with them.

Yes, they are the same as the peas that we call pea-wags.

Peas of any variety aren't listed in any of the diet charts on the main page. Thats why I was asking if anyone knows anything about feeding pea pods.

I have seen them mentioned on other lists as a treat(not sure if the lists were reputable, mind). Mine thought I was trying to poison them, though!

We love pea pods here! I feed them as a occasional treat (once a week or longer). The boys go nuts for them!

On the subject of veg - could anyone tell me if tatsoi is okay for piggies? please?

PiggyPower, that's one I've never heard of. I'm sure it just has another name in the US. Could you post a picture? If not, someone from the UK is bound to come along and "translate."

My girls love sugar snap peas, almost as much as they love green beans!

Tatsoi is similar to bok choy I think? In which case it is okay rarely but personally I'd still avoid it as it will cause gas.
