Thyme

[CarnivalPiggy]

I've got some living thyme mum bought from shop today - can they eat it, how much? Thanks

yes they can, I don't know how much, I just give mine a little sprig as a treat now and then

Thyme and other oil-rich herbs (rosemary etc.) should be given infrequently compared to leafy ones (parsley, sage etc.). Mine get thyme maybe once every couple of weeks? My plant isn't yet well established though, so I'm also considering it's health as well as piggy health.

My two adore thyme. I get a small pack every few weeks to give them. They were pretty miffed the other day because I opened a pack and the smell was absolutely awful, so I refused to give them any. Blitzen sulked for hours :/ but mostly what @acapae said, it shouldn't be a frequent / everyday thing.
