Can My Girls Have Broccoli Or Cauliflower Leaves?

[Lauren kelly]

Hi all doing a roast dinner (I know I'm a day late) I have got some cauliflower leaves and broccoli left over so are my girls able to have it? If so should it be cooked or raw? Thanks

Guinea pigs must never have anything cooked. They can eat a little of the leaves but the leaves can cause gas.

Mine like broccoli, but only the stalks, not the flowery bits! I give them a couple of thin slices when we have broccoli.

Okay thanks both for the replies were very helpful

Mine enjoy a very little bit of broccoli stalk or floret or a bit of cauliflower leaf - both raw - but only very occasionally as it can cause gas and make them v uncomfortable.
