Can Guinea Pigs Eat Pea And Beetroot Tops ?

[artcasper]

A friend has an allotment and asked me if the pigs can have them ?

Pea tops are OK.

From what I can see on the internet - beetroot tops shouldn't be given ( too high in oxalates)

I give beetroot leaves, just small amounts infrequently. They are higher in oxalates than other Beta vulgaris cultivars, but not enough to completely discount them while okaying the rest of the family (mangold leaves, swiss/ rainbow chard etc.)

I give beetroot leaves for a rare treat every couple of months. Piggies love them.
