White Clover

[AutumnThePig]

Hi,

Can piggies eat white clovers? I think that’s what these are called...

Thank you in advance

 

[Lorcan]

As a general rule, yes.

Yes clover is ok for piggies, like grass just ensure it is clean, hasn't been peed on by dogs, foxes etc. A book I have says it has some health benefits, but give in moderation.

I noticed a whole bunch in my yard, it made me curious if they could eat them. Thank you.

Interesting, those are EVERYWHERE where we live and I mean EVERYWHERE. I never knew what they were called but will try them on the pigs when we get home tomorrow.

Be sure to be sparing with them please, as noted above

 

[5StarPigs]

Yes, of course.

I think its quite rich, high in protein and calcium and some other minerals? But fine in moderation!

 

[5StarPigs]

Oh ok. Will def feed in moderation. Would one white clover per pig once a week be fine?

I think you can feed a small handful per piggy once or twice a week, the leaves as well as the flowers! As long as you're sure its clover

This is a close-up of white clover leaves, I'm growing a bit mixed with some red clover and grass in seed trays to feed to my indoor piggies

Yep, just fine, my pigs have a nice clover patch at the cottage in the summer month! Just make sure it hasn't been sprayed with pesticides or fertilizers or anything, of course!

It's not dangerous, but it has been found to induce bloating in many animals. Not sure if guinea pigs are one of them, but most likely
