Evening to you all! I just bought some carrots with lovely greenage but can the piggies eat this? If so, how rich in calcium is it? I always try to be careful with that. Thank you

Don't know about the amount of calcium, but I've found it safe to eat and mine have always loved carrot tops

It is apparently quite high in calcium, as long as you're not feeding huge amounts you should be fine though, I usually give 2-3 carrots worth of greens to each pig.
It is quite high in calcium, so if you have a badder piggy then you might want to limit them.
But all my lot squeal the place down for them!

Thanks for your comments. I will look forward to giving them some for their breakfast tomorrow. I don't know why I get excited about trying them with new things. I don't have a bladder pig but I do try to be a bit careful when it comes to calcium rich foods so it's good to know that it's not something I should feed too regularly.
