How much parsley ?

[Guineapigsarethebest]

How much parsley can I give my 2 pigs a day . Can I just give them 2-4 spings per pig or is that to much or to little
Thanks

I give way more than that! I just give a small handful ")

As far as i know parsley is high in calcium and should be fed every few days check out the stickies in the food section

Yeah a few sprigs per pig is best, I give it once, sometimes twice a week max as it is very high in calcium

Coriander/cilantro is the one herb that you can feed daily - one sprig is enough.

All the other herbs (parsley, dill, basil, fennel, mint) are higher in vitamin C but also high in calcium and should not be fed daily; about a sprig per piggy will do as part of their mix of veg.

So is it alright to give the a bunch once a week �� along with a hand full of grass

 

[Wiebke]

I would split it in two. One bunch is quite a lot for two piggies.

We've started cutting down on parsley after hearing about the calcium.

The problem with parsley is that it seems to wilt quite quickly (we buy the bunches which are still in their soil), so it's very tempting to give them a bit every day, especially when they nom it down so excitedly.. |)

Nowadays I buy the pots, then maybe give them each a sprig or two every couple of days, and eat the rest myself. It's nice with fish, chips & mushy peas if that helps!
