Can guinea pigs eat strawberry tops?

[Joey&Gizmo]

I know they can eat strawberry leaves and the strawberries, but mine dont like strawberries and i have some of the tops left (the green bit) and was wondering if they could have them?

Thanks.

Yes, they can. They can also have the leaves of berry bushes as well (fresh or dried).

I have just tried our two with strawberries but they had a little bibble and then left it so I will be interested to see if they can eat the tops as I have them left too

Yes, they can. They can also have the leaves of berry bushes as well (fresh or dried).

Sorry to sound dumb but what do you mean by berry bushes? :{

 

[KimberleysWheekers]

It's the only bit mine will eat

Any of our usually berry bushes - raspberry, blackberry, currants...

PS: apple leaves and twigs can be fed as well.

Just be aware that dried leaves contain a lot more clacium and should be fed accordingly - more in pinches or as an occasional treat.

I thought you meant those types but just thought i would double check. Thanks.

I have given them blackberry leaves but they seem to prefer them when they are
slightly dry.mallethead Maybe once the season for the berries comes round i shall pick some nice fresh ones, then they may change their minds.
