    Are mini cucumbers safe for pigs? (these are ones you get 6 in a pack) Thanks

    Yes, in small amounts. I usually peel cucumbers because the peeling is where most of the pesticides are

    So, not as often as I would give normal cucumbers?

    Only give normal cucumbers in small amounts. They can cause gas, which can lead to bloat, which is a very serious condition in guinea pigs.

    no they're the same thing, only smaller. You can give it to them the exact same way, just don't give them the whole thing.
