Beware of Cilantro

Re: Beware of Cilantro

Thanks for the tip, alilporkbun! I don't give my guinea pigs cilantro or parsley.



My guinea pigs on average get:

-Carrots
-Strawberries
-Canteloupe
-Romaine Lettuce
-Cabbage
-Oranges
-Spinach(sometimes)
-Kiwi Fruit (a BIG favorite!)
-Grapefruit

I also give them plenty of Timothy hay

My guinea pigs are rather "selective," meaning that some foods are liked by a few, but hated by the rest of the piggies. So I have to offer a big selection of foods to them. The next time you go grocery stopping, take a list of foods commonly liked by guinea pigs, and buy a few of them. You will be amazed at what your guinea pigs LOVE to eat!

Cilantro and Parsley

...great, I thought I was doing my guineas a big favor finding organic parsley and cilantro. I had read that parsley is high in Vit. C.

This seems to be an ongoing topic... for example, I've read that too much spinach is bad. And as far as romaine lettuce is concerned, only the really green bits of the leaves are recommended.

No head lettuce and ALL things in moderation. Variety is the key.
