pomegranate

Can piggies eat pomegranate and if so what parts?

it's just i dropped mallethead some seeds while piggies had floor time and they very quickly vacuumed them up and seemed to love them.

Sorry, I haven't found them on my most exhaustive list of foods and edible plants (which is sadly in German)

But in my experience, a small quantity of something isn't usually doing a piggy any harm (with the exception of a few poisonous lawn/garden plants and certain plant parts from the potato/tomato family).

I once gave mine a few pomegranate seeds and they loved them too, with no ill effects. I think adult guinea-pigs (the younger ones aren't so discerning), are quite good at working out what's edible for them and what's not. [This only applies to natural plant foods, not the sugary snacks you can get from pet shops, which have been sweetened to make them appealing.]
