Banana Skin?

[Linny pop]

Hi , just got a question for you experts out there...my sister told me that she knows someone who feed her guineas banana skins..are these safe? Never heard of this before....what do you think?

I don't know, I wouldn't think they'd like them much. But I guess they can probably digest them. My friend ate half a banana skin before >>> and he was fine . . . Don't monkeys eat them?

I give a bit of washed banana skin occasionally as a very special treat - some of my piggies like it better than the banana itself. I wouldn't give a lot because of the intensive spraying.

My piggies, especially Martha, love banana skin, way more than the banana itself! I only buy organic though... I would never feed them conventionally grown as they are heavily sprayed with pesticides.

I don't eat it though I would never have thought about trying it either if the rescue lady hadn't told me they love it!

That's so interesting. Do you know how much of it they can eat? Like would too much be bad for them in any ways?

I might get some organic bananas so!
