When we human beens have carrots I always peel them (except chantenay). I've been doing the same with my piggies carrots. Have I been giving myself extra work 98)
Does anyone else peel the piggies carrots :)
 
eeeerrrmmmm no LOL
I always make sure they are washed but think mine enjoy the peel too.
I do use the peeler to make them into nice thin slices for them though.

another non-peeler here and my piggies aint complaining :)

I do cut off the heads of florets of brocolli though :D
 
I don't peel my carrots, just give them a wash and chop them up - not had any complaints :)
 
I did peel up to a week ago then I thought what am I doing? 98) As long as they are washed they should be ok!

Yeh mine always leave the heads and eat the stalks, leaves a right mess, little bits of green.

Right, as of now I scrub carrots and chop the heads off brocolli O0

98) I must be nuts 2 cus i always peel them 2 and cut them into little pieces do the same with all there veg better fed than me 98)
 
I strip mine with a potato peeler its the only way my pigs will eat them, even the girls who weren't fussed at first! :)
 
Hi there, i know this topic is regarding whether to peel carrots, (which i by the way leave whole and withe skins on, as long as they are washed), mine just love them whole but don't seem to eat them the same when they are cut up! 98)

On the subject of Broccoli, my piggies all love to eat the broccoli florets, it is the first bit of the broccoli they head for and is gone within minutes, as is their Parsley, now that is like Whoosh! look away for 3 mins and it has dissappeared. ::) :) xx0 :laugh:
 
i just wash the carrot, but i do chop it long ways then chop thru once again, therefore into quarters, as Duke eats the inside part first ::) :D :D :D

Mine are addicted to it!

I don't peel carrots - even when I eat them! Although each piggy has his preference as to how they are cut; Arty likes chunks, Pookies tiny pieces, the rest have slices, they eat all of the brocolli too.
 
mine have unpeeled chunks of carrot. They eat all the broccoli too, in fact the only thing they've turned their noses up at so far is peppers of any colour. :)

Mine love the heads on the Brocolli...
I just wash all my veg and they eat all of what I give them

My carrots aren't peeled, even the ones I eat! ;D
 
mine love brocoli and carrots are the fave, so when i add carrot to their evening meal i have to dice it small so they dont eat just that..little horrors ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
 
Mine love carrotts and my mums piggies just adore them. I buy them with the green tops still on and they all go mad for them I just wash them and pop them in and they love them, if I chop them up they wont touch them.

Brocolii my piggers wont eat the florets just the stem :)
 
We buy organic carrots and scrub them rather than peel.

Ours love Parsley, it's such a shame we can only give it as a treat, they go mad for it.
 
the most nutritious part of the carrot is apparently just under the skin so I do peel as I dont want it to loose its good ness and erm... I'm too lazy
I do grow my own though as the pigs prefer the tops.
 
Theres no point in peeling, as you are peeling the most nutritious part off! :)
 
I don't peel the carrots for my guinea pigs! But i peel them for myself so i my guinea pigs my carrot peelings!

no dont bother peeling carrots makes extra work at dinner time! ;D ;D ;D
 
Thanks everyone, I've now reduced my veggie prep time by more than half O0
Carrots are scrubbed, brocolli topped, lettuce (they like Romaine) torn. The only thing I chop up small now is celery ;D
