Junior Guinea Pig
A few weeks ago, we had an onion in the pantry that had started to sprout. Usually I would cut out the part and use the rest. But this time I got curious and put it in a pot with soil and let it grow.
So our guinea pig took notice to this onion plant when we would carry him by. So I said "ok pig" I cut off a piece of grass and put it in his hutch.
It's funny his reaction to it. He takes a few nibbles here and there, not really eating it, but he is pop-corning around it with excitement. It seems to have stimulated his appetite for the hay around it that he usually ignores? He is eating away more than usual at his timothy hay, etc and hopping around. Such a silly pig.
After some searching I realize onions are not recommended and controversial after doing some searching, the grass is less so might be safer. But anyhow it seems he has instinct to not go overboard with it.. but such a funny reaction!
