Can guinea pigs eat celery leaves? Sorry I'm sure that there are lots of threads like this, but I couldn't find one. Thank you! :)

From what I've read celery leaves are fine for them. but celery itself should be given sparingly and in little pieces as they could choke on the strings.

Mine absolutely love the leaves! But I think just like celery should be fed only a couple of times a week.

My pigs love the leaves, too. It is their favorite part of the celery.

Slightly off topic but, they also love the green tops of carrots. They'll even eat the greens before the actual carrot and carrot is a huge favorite here so that says something.

Celery leaves are like candy here. Given sparingly but loved to the very last bite!

I don't buy celery that often, but when I do I only buy bunches that have thick, green, healthy leaves. They're very well loved here.

Like rshevin I don't celery leaves often, but when I do I get the bunch with lots of leaves at the top. At the vegetable stand, I have to ask them to pick one for me. The people there think I am using it for soup or stew - like a cook.

My guinea pigs gobbled the leaves like they were candy.

Basil leaves are fine. Some pigs love them, some won't touch them.
