Cow parsley

[Siikibam]

Can guinea pigs eat it? We’ve just been for a walk with a friend and picked some up.

I don't know if they can eat it but there's loads round here and it makes me sneeze!

 

[Siikibam]

Oh dear! I did sneeze four times when we walked into the house. But not that probably the gobbled down the hawthorn

They can eat cow parsley, just make certain it is cow parsley and not the almost identical but very poisonous hemlock. Cow parsley has ridged stems, hemlock has smooth. There are a few other differences but that's the main one I remember.

 

[teddymouse]

Yes they can,.

 

[Siikibam]

I had it confirmed by my friend who’s knowledgable. Do they eat just the leaves?

 

[Siikibam]

Well that went down a treat
