Carrots

[meggie6]

Hello everyone!
I have two beautiful piggies. I feed them 2 times a day with nutrient food: some feed and also fresh veggies and fruits. A few months ago I ordered various carrot seeds from this site: gardenseedsmarket.com/carrot-seeds-en/ . Now, I have doubts if I can give every kind to my piggies? I ordered multicolour carrots (there are red, yellow and black ones) and carrot 'mercado de paris 3' . What do you think?

I would have thought that all varieties of carrot are fine, it to be honest I haven’t come across that variety before.

I wouldn't feed them carrots or fruit every day.

They are high in sugar
Fruit would be best as a treat once a week

Carrots should be an occasional treat due to the high sugar content.

I can't imagine the various varieties would be bad for them. I have fed purple carrots before and they have been fine. Carrots were originally purple anyway (and orange inside) but were modified to be orange as they look more appetising to humans

Hay, hay and more hay is the most important for them, any carrot is good in small quantities. Take a look at the feeding guides they are so helpful
