Moss?

[katie-elizabeth]

My lawn appears to have a lot of moss, some areas are worse than others but I'm aware that guinea pigs can't have moss. Would even a bit harm them or do they need to be kept completely away?
Thanks!

Try to remove it if possible. Moss doesn't taste nice, so piggies don't usually eat it if there are enough other things.

Ah ok thank you. So if I try rake up most of it, it'll be okay if they do eat some for whatever reason? I don't need to worry about them being poisoned?

I try to keep my piggies away from any very mossy areas. If you have more moss than lawn, then I would strongly recommend to treat the lawn and to wait 4-6 weeks (i.e. 3-4 mowings) until it is safe for the piggies to go on it. If there is not too much moss, then just removing it physically, will do.
