    Diet Is this enough variety?

    I know escarole is an endive, it has the same amount of calcium as red/green leaf, cilantro is not high, swiss chard is alright, but the highest thing in calcium is Kale on my menu... with cucumbers you do not have to remove the seeds, since they are seedless. with the beans I cut them in half...

    Vegetables Low Calcium, But No Variety..

    Okay, I onlu give Kale 2 times a week, ans its only 1 large leaf or 2 smaller ones for 4 pigs, so when I'm giving only that much I dont think it will be a problem. but if the calcium spots continue after cutting out dandelion, I'll try cuttin that out too. Chard is high in oxalates, and I will...

    Thats not the case, The BEST way for a guinea pig to get C is through fresh veggies, Not Tablets or pellets, Pellets really do not have enough C in them.

    There is NOTHING on the list that is the same amount of Vit. C as Bells, Bell peppers are the best veg for Vitamin C, And pigs require that every single day. I go through 1 Bell a day, half a green in the morning and half a yellow/red in the evening. Piggies should get a wide variety of veg, you...
