    Leaves????

    Would it be safe to let my piggys play in a pile of leaves? I would check for spiders and bugs, and they wouldnt have any pesticides on them. Would it be a good idea, I think they'd have alot of fun.

    I don't think they'd play in them as much as they would eat them.

    What kind of tree did they come from.

    I dont know I do not have them yet. They'd be dead leaves that have fallen off of trees.

    I dont think you should try that because some leaves have white milky stuff in the middle thats like a poison and when they're dry they could still have some. You could just get some paper or hay and make a crumbled up pile and let them eat it up! (Or even some grass that you could cut from outside?)

    It's very important to know what tree the leaves came from. Some very common ones are toxic like oak, walnut, and some maple trees. While dried leaves would probably have less toxins they are still dangerous.
