are these herbs safe for guinea pigs?
Hello
Are this herb mix safe for guinea pigs?

what about echanacea? Is that safe for them? I don't want to get anything high in calcium or unsafe in other properties. but want something that bolsters immune system and supports healthy liver function.
Thanks so much!

I have used Fuzzies Kingdom supplement for ill/recovering guinea pigs. It's hard to say if they are effective. FK mixed a so-called "kidney formula" for a former renal pig that we had, and he did enjoy a fairly good quality of life for many months after his diagnosis with a combination of the daily herb formula and Pedialyte. How much was due to either one, or neither, is a matter of conjuncture. I will say, the owner takes a lot of interest in her clients' pigs, and will customize almost any product as needed.
All of that said...I would agree that a supplement shouldn't be needed for healthy pigs on a well-balanced diet.

thanks guys! I appreciate the input! I had her on them while recovering but I may pull her off. Would it hurt once a week you think? I have the rest of the bag to get through lol
This is one of those things that pet stores make you believe your pigs need, but they don't. I would be concerned about the wheat and flaxseed in this. I don't think guinea pigs should be eating those. Or rabbits.
If you don't want it to go to waste, maybe put it out for birds/squirrels??
I'm so glad there are people like you on the forum who want to provide the best diet they can for their guinea pigs.

Thanks so much for your reply!
If I kept it, would giving it to her a couple times a week be ok? She did like so much when she had it. Is flax seed very bad for them? Is it too much fat/ protein?
Thanks so much!
