Adult Guinea Pig
Hi there, I need to just double, triple and quadruple check with you very clever people about feeding my piggles lettuce.......after much researching and reading, I was pretty sure that my boys could have dark green lettuce (such as Romaine and round/curly lettuce). However, within the past 24 hours two different people have looked at me in mortification and horror when I said I fed them lettuce! I'm starting to doubt myself......Pud and Squeak certainly love the stuff!
I tried to explain to both friends that, as far as I know, they weren't to have white coloured lettuce, such as iceberg, but dark green was fine.
The friend who I shocked today with my 'lettuce' revelation (rolleyes) told me that the local GP rescue where she got her piggies from told her that it was basically poison to piggies, as it was a diuretic. Mind you, they also told her to bed the piggies she adopted on straw......:{
So, what's the deal with lettuce? My two boys will bevery upset if they have to forego their favourite veggie!
