Mint

[Abirose]

Can Guinea pigs eat mint? Thank you

 

[Claire W]

Yes they can

 

[Abirose]

Yes they can

Brilliant, Thank you Claire

 

[Bill & Ted]

Yes, we grow a little pot of it in the garden

 

[Piggies&buns]

My lot love mint!

 

[weepweeps]

Mine too. Yum yum.

 

[LondonLady]

I give my two mint if I can't get coriander and they love it!

 

[piggieminder]

Mine love it too. I grow it in a large tub in the garden and in a pot in the green house so we have it all year round.

 

[Abirose]

Thank you, How many times of week can they have mint?

 

[piggieminder]

Mine have it about twice, I only give a couple of leaves at a time. It depends really on how well it's growing, they might get a bit more in the summer.

 

[Piggies&buns]

When I have to buy it, they will have it until the bag is gone (a bag doesn’t share far between six animals though!). I then might not buy it again for a month though.

When it’s growing in my garden, I’ll pick a few leaves or a stem a few times a week.

 

[Posyrose]

Mine love mint too!

 

[Betsy]

Mine love mint too. Fresh and dried as forage. If you grow it, put it in a pot or else it'll take over your garden!

 

[Merab]

Must try mint again.
Merab hated it and if she hated something so did all the other pigs.
Now there’s no pig left who knew Merab so it’s time to try again.

Blitzen used to eat the mint stalks and let the leaves fall off as he munched along the stalk. It was hilarious to watch. Goes down a treat with the goblins too, but Comet never was much of a fan.

 

[Siikibam]

I’ve never tried mine with mint but only because I don’t like it

 

[Abirose]

Thank you everyone, Monty and Milo love mint x

Thank you everyone, Monty and Milo love mint x

They'll probably treat it as poison next week!

My old pigs absolutely loved mint. They would eat it like mad until it made their mouths all cold and draughty, and then they would still keep trying to eat it and making faces. It was the funniest pig treat apart from goosegrass (they loved that to distraction, and would keep eating it even when it was stuck all over their faces).

Our current pigs have given a negative to mint so far, but they were kind of fussy when we got them, so we're still trying to broaden their horizons.

I haven't tried my current piggies on sticky grass but the old ones loved it.
