Lentil shoots

[ts1]

Hi all

Does anyone know if Guinea Pigs can eat Lentil shoots? I planted some lentils and they have grown really well, can they eat this plant?

I searched on google and found on yahoo answers someone saying they can but want to check with you guys.

Anyone know?

Umm, I have no idea to be honest...I wouldn't have thought they were poisonous, but best to check first, you never know.

Sorry, I don't know.

Wiebke if you don't know they i'm definitely not risking it! |)

Any idea how I can find out though?
