Herbs for Guinea Pigs

[SeijiBrinandtheTwins]

I was thinking of growing herbs for the piggies this year as they are one of their favourite treats and I’m just planning what to grow.
Any ideas would be appreciated! What do your pigs like and what are they not fussed for?
Also I’m considering oregano but I’m not sure whether it is safe or not. The internet can’t seem to make up its mind, and I can’t seem to find it in the safe and forbidden food list on the forum. (Although there’s a chance I’ve just missed it)
Does anyone know whether it is safe?

My pigs always loved basil and coriander, and parsley as a very special treat. Parsley was very easy to grow even in cold conditions.
I don't know about oregano sorry- I've never even eaten it myself!

I suspect oregano's okay - the blackcurrant Burgess nuggets are blackcurrant and oregano, but definitely not a regular thing. When Comet and Blitzen got thyme I never fed it them more than once a week.

I grow a lot of my own herbs and veggies
Favourites and easy to grow are coriander, basil, parsley (occasionally due to the calcium content), dill (again occasionally - calcium), and herb fennel

I grow coriander, basil, parsley and oregano. They love oregano but I only give a pinch occasionally.

I grow basil, parsley, coriander , dill , mint and thyme. My boys would be very happy if I let them have basil every day as it's the one they go most mad for.

I forgot mint! I have two buckets of mint, they love it. It's just starting show tiny green leaves again so hopefully I will have some to pick again soon.

Cilantro and parsley are the two I get regularly for my boys. I would purchase them when I am not growing them. Mine love mint too but I don’t buy them as often I do with cilantro and parsley.
