Peppers

[Piggy Slave]

I can't think, can piggies have peppers and if so I'm assuming I'd need to take the seeds out?

Although I've had piggies on and off for nearly 30 years (And that is a frightening thought!) we've only recently started buying peppers and using them ourselves so not had them in before when we've had previous piggies

Absolutely!

Peppers are a good food for guineas as they have Vitamin C in them. And, yes, take the seeds out

Here is a good thread...

Fab, thank you - I shall introduce Tom to them tomorrow and see what he thinks. so far he doesn't seem to care much for broccolli (We don't like it so it's some that came with him) and he ADORES carrots!

Peppers are good.
Mine love red peppers but no other colours.
I probably have the only guinea pigs in the world who don't really like carrot - they will only eat it if there's nothing else left.
They do love the carrot tops though so they get the green bits and I eat the carrots.

Mine only like the stalks of broccoli, not the florets.

Ooooh I forgot about piggies liking carrot tops, my Mother In Law buys them with the tops on and previously we've asked her to save them for our piggies, I must ask her to start saving them again!

And wow a piggy not liking carrot - I don't think I've ever come across one before! Tom absolutely fell on it earlier, even took it out of my hand which considering he'd only been here 24 hours at that point I was quite impressed!
