Hi everyone,
I heard on you tube on a guinea pig rescue site that guinea pigs like Borage. I must at admit i had never heard of it. Any way i bought some seeds ,didn't take to long to grow,piggies loved it. The bees love it too. Going to plant some more. Stay safe everyone.
 
Do you mean forage? It’s things like blackberry leaves, dandelions, hawthorn, cow parsley etc.
 
Hi,
I have just looked up Borage is high in calcium but surely if you only give them it occasionally it wouldn't be so bad. Unless you have a piggie on a low calcium diet.My piggies love it but it will be as a treat.
 
Aw, Borage, yes it’s a lovely hairy plant with blue/purple flowers. It self seeds around hedgerows and gardens. Everything in moderation will be fine! I like to give them as many different tastes as possible, will look out for it
