Can GP's have satsuma's? If so, how should I prepare them? Do they eat the whole lot or just the fleshy bit? Thanks for any advice

Guineas can have just the tiniest bit of satsuma, the fleshy bit, probably about half a segment twice a week. Need to go easy as with all fruit, so as not to give them the runs. Not sure about the peel, I have never given that. x

Oh, Ok, Thank you very much. I'll try them with a little bit next time I have one. Thank you
Orange peel is edible. It's higher in Vitamin C and full of bioflavanoids and other goodies; it's better for you than the fruit inside (but tastes very bitter). I'd try them with a bit of scrubbed peel; if they eat and it doesn't give them the runs (because they've not had it before), I'm guessing you could give it in the same quantity you'd give any citrus fruit.
