Junior Guinea Pig
Does anyone know if this is safe to feed to my piggies ? It's Latin name is Aegopodium podagraria. I know that humans can eat it, cooked, although I didn't find that I liked the taste.It's a weed in my garden and it would be very handy if it is safe for the girls, even in moderation. Thanks.

The article is in issue 24 of GPM. I don't know if Ground elder is safe for piggies to eat. I wouldn't risk it. Cow parsley flowers do come in different colours and the stalks are always clean green and covered in fine hairs. Hemlock has smooth stalks with blotchy purple markings and flowers are always white. As with any wild plants or weeds, if in doubt, leave it out!
