Pak Choi? Bok Choi?

Hey guys,

So I've gone on a noodle soup RAMPAGE and bought some yummy pak choi. But I ALWAYS end up with the 2nd pak choi going limp and naff before I get a chance to eat it. So is it guineapig safe? I tried browsing the chart that keeps floating about, but pak choi isnt on there and I'm not sure how it is classified.

Cheeeers! Maya

p.s. just read up it's called a chinese cabbage - so thinking it might be ok in smaller amounts? also, heard they contain glucosinolates which can be toxic in humans when consumed in huge amounts. Will this translate to guineapigs on a smaller scale?

It's fine as a once in a while treat. My Clive adores it but he only gets the chance to nom it every couple of months or so.

hmm.. so I can't ration them with a whole one between them to spread over 3 days? :/

If you're only feeding them the same amount as you would in one serving then I wouldn't see a problem with that. I'd just be careful not to give them too much and don't give them any other similar items at the same time.
