I know they can eat some herbs but was wondering if sage is OK
 
I would not recommend sage or any of the other Mediterranean herbs that are high in essential oils; this also includes thyme, rosemary and lavender.

Soft herbs like basil, marjoram or oregano are fine in smaller quantities.

Oh - that's interesting. I was wondering about rosemary too - so you've answered that question.

I seem to recall a thread recently where people said that Guinea pigs can eat lavender but agree that it is high in essential oils.

These herbs are not poisonous per se, they are just not good fed regularly and in larger quantities. ;)
 
so maybe once every month or so in small quantity?
we have ALOT of herbs like sage and rosemary. and i give them lavender once in a blue moon. so i can add rosemary and sage and stuff to thier diet?
 
Well I guess u can try but my ones do not like sage, rosemary or even too much corriander as the flavour is too strong.
