Radish And Leaves

[*Roger*Jasper*]

is it ok to feed my piggies radish and the leaves too?

There seems to be a lot of conflicting information on this. Some sources say leaves only, others say the radish only. However I would say from my experience the answer is yes they can eat both. I have always fed it to my piggies and had no health concerns for my piggies. We grow radishes where I work for the guinea pigs and they are all fine

Yes, guinea pigs can eat radishes and the leaves but only in moderation / as a treat as they are very high in calcium.

They are high in oxalc acid - which combines with calcium to form calcium oxalate urriary stones. Therefore feed as a treat no more than once a month.....
