Broad Beans... Yey or Nay?

[Jess]

Hello,

I can't seem to find an answer for this question.

Can guinea pigs or better yet, is it safe for guinea pigs to eat broad beans?
Some say yes other no.

Your thoughts?

thank you!

I believe the pod is but not the bean itself, I don't feed them mine though

I feed the pods when in season, but not the beans themselves. Make sure that remove any strings.

That's interesting. My wife & I were just talking about getting some broad beans. We could eat the beans & the piggies eat the pods.

Well I have given them a pop, I think they'll probably end up peeing and sleeping on it. See what its condition is in the morning
