Can I feed my guinea pigs fresh grass, dandelions, and other forages?

Look at the Nutrition charts sticky thread. The answer is there.

Ly, what about snow pea sprouts? Tried to do a search but nothing came up and it isnt on the nutrition chart.

I'd feed them in moderation a couple times per week just like with other types of sprouts.

I'm glad that grass is on the list. It's very fresh, natural and abundant. Everyother day I fill up a bag of fresh grass...the pigs love it...they munch away until their little lips turn green then fall asleep tired from all the nibblin. So cute even their little necks are green. I live in the country away from traffic and don't believe in fertilizer or pesticides so I have no qualms about giving them grass.

Sorry, I didn't see an answer for lavendar, we have about 4 plants and would love to give them lavendar if possible. I've tried nasturtiums and squash blosems with no luck. But would love to find out about lavendar. thanks

Lavender is edible. If they've never had it before start with very small portions.

I'm a little confused -- vetch is on the edible list, as well as the poisonous list. Also, there are multiple types of vetch. We have crown vetch taking over our landscaping, and I dig it up regularly. Is it safe to feed my piggie?

Thanks for info I think I will start trying to give my girls greens now, anything to livin up there diet from just pellets would be wonderful I think.
