I was at the store tonight trying to get my boys some new veggies. I have a couple of questions.
How often can guinea pigs eat carrot greens? How much?
I thought I read somewhere that any kind of root can be harmful. Like parsley root?
How often can they have watercress?

Lynx, is that the watercress? Usually when I buy a bunch of carrots with tops there aren't too many in the bunch. I can divide that pretty well between my 10 pigs but for 2 pigs I would imagine a couple of sprigs apiece every couple of days would be ok?

They gobbled up the carrot tops! I cut the top chunk off of two carrots and left the greens and gave one to each pig. They inhaled them!
I decided to print out the veggie chart from guineapigcages and I am going to post it on my fridge. It took me a few minutes to find it. Of course carrot greens are not on there.
Still curious about any kind of roots?

Ah, good to know. I don't get them for my pigs very often and will keep it that way since I now know they are high in calcium. Thanks!
Rabbits love carrot tops. They get the bulk of it here but the pigs get it sparingly.
They are good for babies or pregnant sows though!

Sus, what about any kinds of roots? Can guinea pigs have parsley root? I imagine it would be very high in calcium too.
