Do you GPs eat banana skin?

If mine have a banana I just peel back a little bit of the skin so the fruit is available to them but all 4 of my girls enjoy the skin. They eat it first before the fruit.
 
I give my guineas banana once every couple of weeks, just sliced up skin and all. My 3 seem to prefer the skin as it's the first to disappear and I do occasionally find bits of uneaten mushed up banana but never the skin.
 
Hmm this is an interesting topic. I never knew they could have banana skin. I've only given Gilbert the actual fruit. He eats it but doesn't LOVE it like carrots. I'll see about letting him try the skin. Sounds like other piggies really enjoy the skin part! Thanks for sharing that.
 
Every couple of days we give both our boars the a piece of banana. We cut of the very top and very bottom so that they each get a small piece of banana and skin together. They eat both bit and love it! x
 
Just tried our two with it, I chopped off the last inch of a hole banana.

They scoffed it in no time at all.....
 
my four piggies love there banana and the banana skins xx they dont have it very often tho its more of a treat for them xx
 
Wow! Didn't know that! Will try it! Will let you know on the success/unsuccess of it. My pigs aren't that keen on parsnip! But LOVE tomatoes and lettuce, although lettuce does have a weird effect on their little bums :-)

Brill, will get some more veg on the big shop this week! Pigs eat better than our family! Thanks for the ideas! :-)
 
no probs xx i no mine eat better than anyone else in the house lol are yours indoor piggies and how long have you had them for? you not to far from me:))
 
I'm growing alot of squigle food this year =)
Things like carrots are really easy to grow, but buying carrotts in the shops with the tops on isnt always as cheap haha. Mine adore parsley, I managed to find a growing kit for £1 the other day!
 
They are indoor for now while the weather is bad, but going outside when its warmer.

We bought them when they were small and it was a harsh winter and didnt want them outside, i just wouldnt settle!

Piggies have a special place in my heart haha!
