Radicchio

[Kylie80]

I'm not sure how you spell it but is it a lettuce or a cabbage or neither? I've been giving the piggies some in the mornings while it is in season, I'm not sure if it has much calcium in it but there doesn't seem to be many white pee's around of late. I'm actually asking because I have been feeding them lettuce mix (no iceburg) at night and sometimes cabbage instead of the lettuce. I know radicchio tastes feral, I tried some the other night and it's really bitter and not sure why the piggies like it but they adore it but i'm just not sure what it is as it's only been on sale in the supermarket here since last year.

I’ve researched on Google and found that it is neither a lettuce or cabbage. It has its own thing. My piggies adore Radicchio, I don’t give it everyday though. Not because of calcium, just to switch it up a little for them.

Off of this article off GuineaLynx, you can see radicchio definitely doesn't have a high calcium level. I think the only concern would be it's phosphorus levels, but provided you're not going super heavy on it it shouldn't pose a problem.
