So I grow my own carrots and was wondering if I can feed the leafy green tops (of the carrot) to my guineas? And I heard also that I shouldn't feed them corn off the cob, is this true? That's one of their fav treats?
 
I'm pretty sure they can eat carrot tops, but they can only eat corn on the cob if its raw.
 
they eat tops... mine loves to eat carrot top... in small quantity...
 
Carrot tops are high in calcium, so I'd only feed them occasionally in small quantities.

A small amount if fresh corn is fine as a treat if your pigs aren't overweight, it's processed corn & corn as a filler that should be completely avoided. Corn husks & silk however are perfect daily & usually a big hit, as well as good for their teeth.
