Spring greens?

Yes, any leafy sort of cabbage is fine; cabbage is actually not a bad source of vitamin C. Mine switch between sweetheart, spring greens, green and savoy but they have some form of cabbage as part of their daily veg mix. If you find that you have a piggy with bloat/gas problems, leave brassicas out. In all the years I've had piggies, I've never had a problem with them, though.

Kale is a rarer treat as it is very high in calcium and oxalic acid (can promote the growth of bladder stones in piggies with a disposition for them); I have a couple of piggies with chronic UTI problems, so I have to be a bit more careful in that respect. Brussels sprouts contain sulfur (hence the smell when cooking), so I am only feeding leaves (not the flower balls) when they are available as a special treat.
 
Thank you just doing a tesco shop kale they love but will only have it on the odd occasion! :)
