Tried my guinea pigs on parsley for the first time today as every one raves about it so I picked some up at the local market. And I am glad I did! They went mad for it! I had to hand feed them it as they were pulling out of each others mouths! Little Hendrix loved it that much that she dribbled green over my new jeans! Bless!
 
Glad they loved it! Parsley - Food of the God's! Pitch and Putt used to love it. It is high in Calcium though, so we had to give it as a treat now and then in the end as Putt had Bladder Problems. Have you tried Celery leaves also? That goes down very well... :))
 
They went cross eyed when they ate it! I will try them with celery leaves! so should I just give my piggies it in moderation? Poor piggies! Hope they are better, its the same with humans- the food we love is usually bad for us! I posted your parcel today too x
 
I planted my own parsley plants for the piggles.....it grows really well and doesn't need much looking after! :)

Parsley in moderation as a treat ( great for when they need cheering up after vets trips and baths etc), celery leaves pretty much whenever you can get some. :)
 
Corriander and basil is popular with our girls too, I try to vary a different herb each day.
 
I'm a very new piggie owner (since a week ago today) and I've been giving them celery leaves and stalk, cucumber, dandelion leaves and ground elder. The last two are freely available from my garden! :) The piggies go daft over all of these.
 
My two boys go mad for parsley as-well as any fresh herbs really not to sure on tarragon as i am not sure if they are allowed it. But i would always pick up and coriander, parsley, mint and chives going cheap because they adore them :(|)
 
Are they allowed chives? It's just that it's related to onion and I thought they couldn't have it? x
 
Oh yes, parsley - that's how I bribed my lot into trusting me.

Carrot greens and dandelions are also firm favourites.
 
Just discovered parsley and wow my piggies love it! I bought a parsley plant the other day and all I have to do is water it, snip off the parsley when need it. When you say they have it in moderation, how often is that? twice a week maybe?
 
My piggies all love parsley, but I give it maybe once a week max when I have it in. It is very high in calcium, and shouldn't be fed with other high calcium veggies that day. It is definitely a treat - bribery after baths etc :)p
