Can piggy’s eat fennel?

[G&C]

Hello, so I bought some fennel bulbs and was chopping it up and wondered if my boys could eat a little bit, it looks just like celery which they like.

 

[Hensa]

Yes they can,my two like fennel.

Yes they can,my two like fennel.

That’s good because I gave them a small piece. Do you know the nutrient content?

 

[G&C]

I’ve just found this: Fennel
However I didn’t give them 87g of fennel they had approx 2g (2 tiny pieces). Looking at that above are there any vitamins/minerals which are not good for piggies? Some of those I’ve never heard of.

I'm not sure on fennel. There might also be a big difference between feeding the leaves and feeding the bulb

Big hit with our lot.

I grow fennel in my garden and the piggies love every part of it but especially the green fronds. The type I grow doesn't really devolop a large bulb but I cut off lots of the crunchy green stalks and they eat this before anything else I give them.

ours go nuts for the fronds & stalks of ours- i grow the herb fennel,not the bulbing cooking type.

Oh this is something I'll look out for and see if mine like it.

Mine quite liked it when I gave them some.
They got the fronds and a tiny piece of the bulb as we were going to eat the rest.
Haven’t tried it with new girls yet.

Really easy to grow, I fact it self seeds once you have got a plant. Mine love all parts of it especially the fronds. Fennel is supposed to be good for digestion in humans too
