I'm searching for the most palatable, safe, appropriate level of vit.C leafy green... I would feed it daily, so it can't have an issue with calcium or oxalates.
I used to, before I understood about calcium and oxalic acid in veggies, feed my one guinea pig Ginger fresh raw parsley every day. And probably a good size amount. It was fed once a day.
I've stopped doing that now, but is there anything I can do to flush toxic levels of calcium and oxalates out of her? It hasn't caused any problems so far, and she actaully hasn't had parsley in a long time. I feel kind of bad for her, because she doesn't seem to care too much for the salad greens(Earthbound Farms Organic blend, no iceburg, just romaine and some other baby lettuces), and she's the one who eats all the fresh veggies before the other ones can get enough.
Are mustard greens ok? I don't think she likes peppers either. Personally I don't blame her for not liking peppers, but she needs to eat some of those! She eats the most out of my 3, as she is the alpha-dominant cavy who bosses the others.
I wish there was some leafy green that I could feed her daily, that she would devour as readily as she devoured parsley...... |
