I think that it would be since its just grass, right? I am thinking about gettig some for my piggys because its been so cold they havent been outside in a while, and just wanted to make sure that it is safe for them first.

It's fine. I believe it is just wheat grass.

I dont think that is a good idea. My freind fed it to hers and she was told by the vet not to because it causes problems

Re: Is this safe to feed?

Wheat grass is fine, but can cause problems if you suddenly introduce it. Start with small quantities and it will be fine. I am curious what problems the vet is talking about?

Re: Is this safe to feed?

If you're going to reference a vet, please take the time to find out what was specifically being discussed. Without that information, your post does no good whatsoever.
