Hi, hope everyone's having a good Friday.
My mum bought me 5 different hebs for my balcony and I'm wondering which I can share with my piggies.
I have:
Curly parsley
Chives
Lemon thyme
Common rosemary
Garden mint.
Thanks for any feedback :tu:
 
I think the parsley is ok, as is the mint. Not sure about the lemon thyme? Not chives or Rosemary as far as I know. I'm sure someone else will know more!

Cool thanks. It'll be a nice treat not having to share them all :)
 
I've never heard of lemon thyme before, God know what I'll use it for but it does smell amazing.
 
Parsley is fine though I think high in calcium so not too often.
Mint is also fine.
Rosemary is high in essential oils so only very little very seldom.
Thyme is the same, little and seldom, so I'm guessing lemon thyme would follow the same restrictions as normal thyme.

Chives are a no no.
 
Parsley and mint went down well, the Rosemary was a different story though. Katie and princess ran away from it, nala spat it out, harry & lloyd gave me the ' we are NOT trying that' look and Skye & Islay seemed to love it! I think they would eat anything though.
Didn't try the lemon thyme, discovered the calcium content was really high (thanks google) so not worth
it I don't think.
