Peppers?

[Julesie]

Can your guinea pig eat the little pips inside peppers?

I've always cut mine out but I saw a picture of a guinea pig eating a pepper with them all in, so is it okay or not?

I always say if I don't eat them, neither does my Smokey x

If I could get my 6 boys to eat peppers - I could answer you! - but they just turn up their little noses at them and throw me a filthy look

Red is my lots favourite. Ryou turns his nose up at green and yellow is passable.

No, steer clear of the pips, piggies can choke on them. Stick the pips in the compost bin so plants can enjoy the nutrients from them, which in turn could be a veggie that a piggy is going to eat!

Okay. Good. I always threw the pips away but I thought, if they can eat them why am I throwing them away?

Id say smokeys fave is orange x

I'm guessing the pips may be the seeds? I always tap them out because it's a choking hazard.my pigs love green, red, yellow, and orange bell peppers! They're not too fussy when it comes to vegetables! Winnie is mostly fussy with fruit that's given once in a great while.

I always take them out as they are quite hard and as said above a choking hazard. I assume some people will feed it whole and say they never had a issue but I wouldn't risk it. To be honest I treat my piggies veggies as if I was going to eat them or worse, lol.

My 4 boys won't eat them either

I gave my three piggies some orange pepper yesterday and I don't think any of them touched it, but they have had some red and green before and ate some of them.

I think its the pips that can give us indigestion? Think Nigella said it?!
so I ditch them unless told they're good 4 them.

 

[theoretikos]

My boys eat the peppers (any colour) but they never get the seeds.

 

[Chief Guinea Pig]

When I give the girls peppers I always chop it in strips. Fully checking there are no seeds in sight. I wouldn't feed them, purely because they're hard to chew and could be a choking hazard I guess.

I've always fed peppers complete with seeds and never had an issue
