Kale, Parsley, Cilantro

I bought these 3 tonight and just want to make sure how much of each is allowed. I know Kale is only 2-3 times per week, Parsley more often, Cilantro almost daily. But how much when I give to them? I think someone answered this in another thread but I can't find where.

Re: Kale, Parsley, Cilantro

I feed about a cup of veggies each twice a day. I just feed a good mix of whatever I have to make a cup each. Don't forget to use a green leafy lettuce each day as well.

Re: Kale, Parsley, Cilantro

Try checking the nutrition threads in the stickies at the top of this subforum:
http://www.guineapigcages.com/forum/...gie-menus.html

For Kale, one sample gives 4 small pieces, cut up per pig, and another gives 2 large leaves per pig, each twice a week.

For parsley 2-3 sprigs per pig 2-3 times per week; cilantro about the same quantities, but daily or almost so.

Re: Kale, Parsley, Cilantro

You can give a lot of cilantro and you can feed it every day. I answered these questions in another one of your diet threads. (PLEASE keep all your diet questions in one thread from now on.)

Give 1 small or 1/2 large leaf kale per pig per feeding 2 times per week. Give about 3-4 sprigs of parlsey about 3 times per week but not the same days you give the kale. Give leaf lettuce and bell pepper everyday.
