Obsessive on Nutrition

Ok, sorry for another thread but I now have a question about clover. I didn't see it on the nutrition chart so I was wondering if it is similar to dandelion.

I pick large quantities in the summer from fields in our backyard. My piggies have a very unique sound they make when they hear the back door open since they anticipate the clover coming. They love it and gobble it up without remorse. Should I have any concerns or hold back?

Re: Obsessive on Nutrition

Both red and white clover are fine to feed but not really good in huge amounts daily. A small amount daily would be ok of either. Dandelions aren't something you want to feed daily either. They contain a lot of calcium.

Calcium can cause bladder stones.
