Parsnip tops/leaves

[sue 1974]

Can piggies eat Parsnip tops and their leaves as i have been given loads? Thanks

 

[Wiebke]

In my experience, piggies are not so keen on parsnip. I have never tried leaves, but I thought they should be OK.

My girls love parsnip,but i have never had any with leaves,so can't help there.

It appears that they are safe, as quoted from Galen's Garden:

....so feeding parsnip thinnings together with their tops would probably provide a healthy balance.
