Can Piggies Eat These?

[1GuineaPig1]

Here are some foods I was wondering if my piggies could eat. I don't want to hurt them!
Squash
potatoes
Mint
Rosemary
Thanks!

Hello again

Potato's - NO very poisonous to piggies

Mint - Yes, but it's high in calcium so feed as a treat
Squash - They can but we have never had one that will

Rosemary - Unsure in this one, if in doubt leave it out

We have a food list of Foods they can and can't eat here http://www.theguineapigforum.co.uk/...veg-and-fruit-list-with-vitamin-c-grading.42/

Also great link to a sortable list on guinea lynx http://www.guinealynx.info/chart.html

Potatoes - no (too high in starch)
Squash, pumpkin and marrow - they can eat the same parts and varieties that humans eat, but it may not be to every piggy's taste
Mint - yes (treat as herb)
Rosemary and other meditarranean herbs like lavender, sage or thyme - no because too high in essential oils

Thanks for all the great suggestions! I will not feed potatoes to my piggies!

Onions are a banned food too! You will most probably find that your piggies do not actually eat any foods that are bad for them. They are quite clever that way!
