fennel

[MrsM]

Is it ok to feed that to piggies?

 

[Shellza]

I've often wondered this. I know it's good for horses digestion, but wouldn't know about pigs. I've always fancied getting it for mine though, but never knew if it was ok or not.

I've given mine a little bit - just the greenest stalks at the top - cut into slices - they loved it and no problems at all.

I'm glad you asked this Q as I've been wondering this myself! Big Dave and Boxy are having regular critical care and they love it - and it smells aniseedy, so I was wondering whether they'd like fennel!

I think I'll have to get some and try them with it

On a non-piggy note, fennel and wholegrain mustard soup is gooooood - infact I might have to make some and give my piggies the fluffy green bits

Yes, it's safe to give.
I'll have to have a look for some as not tried mine on it

I tried mine on banana for the first time the other day - they couldn't eat it fast enough!

Mine all love fennel, in fact we've started growing it for next year as it's so expensive in the shops!

Mine eat the skin mainly, and just a bit of the inside!

I didn't give them the skin as I wasn't 100% sure they could have it. They just had a nibble on mine

Yep, the skin is fine for them
