Bananas?

[Dubsy]

I was just wondering I read somewhere that bananas are ok for GPs, but should you peel them first? I imagine you should but not sure!

I wouldn't give them all the time as they can cause constipation. Maybe once a week or fortnight.

I always peel them.

i peel the banana but i only feed accasionaly as a treat

Be careful though as bananas have alot of frutose in it (natural sugars) and I'm not sure if it would be too sugary for the piggies. I'm sure it will be fine in small doses.

I feed bananas occasionally. When piggies are in the run, I peel the bananas but when they are in their hutches I don't peel them as the woodshavings get stuck to the banana.

I have read that you can feed peeled or unpeeled, but not all pigs like them.

never tried bananas on my pigs its a thought though

Mine have only ever had tiny bit of mine when I've been having one. They're not that fussy for it though.

Thanks for all your replys I might try a slice as a treat ... see how it goes down.

Only 2 of mine like banana but i feed with the skin on (washed first) but only occassionally

My 2 love banana but only have a slice or 2 each as an occasional treat. They have it with the skin off

I give my piggies some but very rarely but when i do they don't seem to eat it all because i think the smell puts them off I peel them too
