Will piggies eat rocket?

[Jen_blue]

hi,

Apparently rocket is easy to grow (and I am keen to grow f+v) but I am told that rocket is quite pepper-ery so not sure whether they can/will eat it?

Hi

I tried my piggies on rocket the other week, they were not impressed! :{

Not sure if it was a bit too strong for them, might be worth trying them on some first before you grow it!

Mine like it, but agree best to try them with it first

 

[flips]

Mine pee'd on it!

My old girls loved it, Roger and Nelly aren't fussed.

My girls quite like it, but it's not the first thing they eat out of the dish

They wouldn't touch it at first, but I tried it mixed with other greens and they eat it okay now

I'm not keen though

Mine pee'd on it!

Mine love it!

It's one of these strong tasting foods that piggies either love or won't touch at all. Best give rocket mixed with other lettuce leaves.

I get a mixed salad bag and rocket is included, they seem to eat it.

mine won't touch it and give me a look as if to say "are you trying to poison us!"

 

[lovelygirl]

mine love it! and would scramble as much for rocket as for parsley!

 

[biscandmatt]

mine love it aswell.

I've yet to find something mine don't like . No, I'm lying - they're not keen on radishes . Rocket always goes down well with them.

Dindy scoffs it along with everything else, I was surprised as it is quite peppery.

Another yes vote here My boys love rocket, I sometimes buy a bag if it is on special offer and it is always very popular.
