Baby Corn, Cabbage And Leeks

[Cavy Lover]

I was wondering if you can feed guinea pigs baby corn, my mum said they are raw I have fed them today and I don't know if to stop. And cabbage and leeks I was not to sure about those veggies. Please reply cause those are the only veg left in the house.

Leeks are a no-no as they are from onion family, All onions / leeks / garlic are not good for pigs. You can feed both cabbage and baby corn, both however should not be fed daily or in large amounts. baby corn is high in sugars so is fattening and should only be fed in small amounts maybe once a week. Cabbage is fine but again, should only be fed once / twice a week. It can cause gas which can be fatal to guinea pigs!

Leeks are a no...

Cabbage is fine not too much as it is gassy so once/ twice a week maybe, ours get cabbage every 3 weeks or so...

Baby Corn only as a treat as it is high is sugar, good for putting calories into ill piggies when they are under weight.

Mine love cabbage but yeah definitely not to often and we always keep a close eye on their tummies when they get it. Baby corn is fine too as others have said though my boars aren't too fussed on it really.
