Vegetables Cilantro question

[Gracespigs]

We have been introducing our guinea pigs to lettuce, (not iceberg), cilantro, cherry tomatoes and bell peppers so far. We are working on more. So far I have been feeding them 2-4 stems of cilantro and they seem to love it, for each pig. I was wondering how much total could they have of this? I tried to find it somewhere on here, I may have missed it but could not find it. I saw a diet menu, but it said something like 2 sprigs? (Hope I got that right) I am sorry, but I am not sure what that is. Can someone tell me how much I can give them of cilantro, wow, they love it! They do not seem to like lettuce very much, they only nibble on it a bit, but I am working off the great charts on here to introduce them to more veggies.

They can have quite a bit per day. A sprig is just the stem with the leaves on it. I've been known to give my girls half a bunch a day at times.

So I could give them maybe 10 sprigs per pig a day or more? They are going crazy over it! They seem to like it alot better than lettuce. I want to feed it everyday to them because I see on your chart it is a daily vegetable. Thank you to explaining to me what a sprig was, lol, I never heard that before, so I am a little green to all of this. LOL. Thanks for all your help, you are a great help to me and my pigs, we all thank you!

Cilantro is a favorite here. I buy three bunches a week and they are always gone by week's end. I love to nuzzle their little noses after they have been munching away on cilantro. They smell like salsa.

I think by far my pigs love this the best! Boy, they can really slurp down those stems fast! LOL.. They look like little paper shredders going at it! My 3 year old loves watching them eat it, hahahahaha.. I love feeding it to them too!
