a few food questions.

can guineapigs have
potato peelings,
basil,
lemon/citrus fruit type thing (except orange)
or any other unusual thing

 

[SkinnyLover]

Potato peelings no, unless its sweet potato. Citrus things I don't give cos it can irritate the mouth because of the acidity. Basil I dunno but mine love melon, all kinds

 

[kellyandpiggies]

Mine have always had potato peelings - many, many years now with no problems at all. They only have white peelings and I make sure for no sprouting

Don't give any of mine any viturs fruit, the same for the above reason. Basil I haven't tried.

Unusual, such as?

 

[rip_ernie]

wells, by unusual i mean stuff tha isn't basic by cabbage, mine seem to like basil and oranges, but i make sure they are not to sour

Try rocket, lamb's lettuce, watercress, melon, cress, sprouts.

mine have a lil bit of orange now and again,ive never tried potato peelings though,I know my rabbits when I had them used to love them
they love romaine lettuce :o
Ive stopped giving them cabbage since I lost a couple or more the day after they had it

 

[tawny]

never given potato in any form, thought it was a no no :o

mine have savoy cabbage, they love kale and sometime have white cabbage, that i bring home from work on a sunday. I'm just careful about the amount i give them. mine just adore little gem lettuce and loads of cucumber.

mine do have gala apples, cherry tomatoes, just be careful about the amount you give, don't want their beautiful lips getting sore :-*

none of mine will eat oranges.

Mine love basil. They'd die for it..

I haven't tried mine on basil but they love parsley. I don't give them any citrus fruit as I've had piggies before that hated anything like that. They also love curly kale and broccoli
