Mint?

[theoretikos]

Hi everyone. I started growing mint last year which the piggies loved. I have just cut the dried stalks/stem that the leaves grow from to prepare for a new growth. They still smell of mint.

Can guinea pigs eat these?

Oh i cant see why not....? Its still mint!

Don't see why not as it's still just plain mint with nothing added.

My boys love fresh mint, it and basil are huge hits in our house but growing basil is just never successful for me. Not that I could grow it in big enough quantities anyway

I get a potted basil plant (and thyme) from Morrisons and put ion the kitchen windowsill.

I never seem to be able to keep it alive and the pigs would eat one plant in one sitting

Hi everyone! Thank you for the replies. I tried the pigs with one of the sticks but after giving it a few chews they lost interest x
