Is it okay for my piggies to eat this?

Hey guys, I was just wondering if it is okay for guinea pigs to eat leaves. So much are falling right now, and I dont know if it would be a good treat or not. Of course I'd clean them first.

Second, can piggies eat pumpkin? Its a great time of year for that and it would be helpful to me to give them the rinds, and perhaps they would enjoy it also??

Thanks, guys!

No, don't feed them leaves. There are a few types that are poisonous.

Pumpkin can be fed but it's better to feed the fleshy inside part rather than the rind. Only about 1-2 1" cubes per pig a couple times a week. No seeds or goopy stuff from the inside.
