Broccoli

[cheshire_mum]

Its been a good 10 years since I owned guinea pig and back then I used to feed mine broccoli without any problems, how would I know if it was to make my new boys poorly it I was to feed it to them?

I feed broccoli regularly, as it is one of the veg that is most high in vitamin C. You can feed all parts safely.

Here is a list of what veg piggies can eat; it is a lot more than you'd think! http://www.theguineapigforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=42

Thanks for reassurance, thought I'm sure I did read that they get gas with it?

i've never had a problem either. i have kept piggies for years and they have all had it. i give a 'chunk' each day with their other veggies. they have never had any problems.

Brocilli is my boys favourite veg and I've never known it to upset their bellies

My pigs all like a bit of broccoli every now and then, they only really eat the stalks though not the flowery bit on top, never effected them (:

My piggies eat broccoli three times a week and cabbage every day; I have never had any problems in over twenty years of living with piggies. There are no problems as long as you introduce it as part of a mix and take any piggy with a tender digestion off any rich veg. Cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower leaves are all good sources of vitamin C, which is important for piggies.
