Piggies can eat them occasionally without ill effect and they are certainly not poisoned just by a one-off feed, but they shouldn't eat the beans, leaves or stem; just the pods. Regular feeding is not recommended, as toxins may build up. It is one of the many foods where warnings are out but we have not yet proof whether they are really as bad as they are made out to be.

If you want to incorporate green beans as a firm part of your diet, I would recommend to feed green French beans instead, which can be fed safely daily without issues - about 1-2 French beans per piggy per day. Just found this on the forum
