Dear All,

I am getting mixed messages about whether carrot tops (aka the green leaves) are OK to feed guinea pigs. What do people think?
 
Yes I feed them. I think as if they are carrots so just feed them occasionally ( when I can get them)
 
They LOVE them. I just give in small quantities though and if they have some I then don't give them carrot as well
 
We give them to ours as well sometimes, they love them.
 
Thanks - I can't remember which website advised against and why. I have big plans for horticulture next year & intend to grow some carrots and celery - mainly for their leaves.
I was a bit worried that supermarket bought ones may have been sprayed with some insecticide . I have checked with my local supermarket and they say their carrots with tops are OK for guinea pigs to eat.
 
Just wanted to add they are high in Calcium so feed as you would any calcium high food, just every now and then.
 
It's a yes here too! My rowdy lot love them and the bunnies go nuts too!

Mine love them, whenever I go to the market I always ask for some carrot tops and they give me a bag for free!

We don't have a decent market near us. I've had to buy mine from Morrisons (with carrots attached :lol:) but am going to have a go at growing some this year. Unfortunately, I don't have green fingers but I think it's worth having a go.
