Mint

[Abirose]

I have read that guinea pigs can have the herb mint, I give both coriander and occasionally parsley, but is it ok to give a couple of mint leaves?

My Finn and Lara eat mint and many different kinds of herbs. They actually prefer herbs and fruits to veggies.
Mine are true piggies and will eat large variety of veggies, herbs and fruits.

My piggies love mint and make a bee line for the large mint plant in my garden if I put their run to close. I give my a few leaves most days and grow mint indoors on the window ledge so they have a winter supply too.xx

Thank you for your replies. Gave my girls couple of leaves of mint, They were not sure at first but then really enjoyed it. Can you also give piggies Dill?

 

[Bill & Ted]

Yes, Dill is Bill and Ted’s favourite herb x

Can guinea pigs eat blossom like off trees because whenever my guinea pigs are outside in the spring they keep eating blossom

First of all when I gave mine mint they thought I was poisoning them now they love it.

Mint is fine to feed although mine don’t like it. They like coriander, dill and a bit of parsley

My piggies love herbs. I grow mint, oregano, sage and rosemary along with some fennel. They like them all. Twigs from the currently flowering rosemary are very popular at the moment.
