Hi! Piggies can eat fresh basil, coriander/cilantro, parsley, dill, fennel, mint. Coriander is the one herb they can eat on a daily basis.

Fresh herbs, broccoli (all parts,all varieties) and pepper (all colours, one slice per piggy per day) are all very high in vitamin C. One of them makes a good addition to a daily piggy meal, but please vary. Fresh coriander is one herb that you can feed on a daily basis.

Any green beans or mangetout are OK to feed.

Here is a UK list of what veg and fruit they can eat, how much and how often: http://www.theguineapigforum.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=17
