Re: Kale

be careful with parsley because it can cause bladder stones because it has lots of calcium in it..try to feed romaine lettuce or something becuase I don't want your piggy to get bladder stones..take care

Re: Kale

Romaine Lettuce has enough Vit C in it?

Re: Kale

Ok so I decided to do a little reasearch on the web and I found that Romaine Lettuce actually has more calcium than parsely, so why would parsley be any more likely to produce bladder stones than romaine lettuce?

Re: Kale

i looked at that link and i don't know what to tell you, romaine lettuce has more calcium than parsely.
my piggies diet consists mainly of romaine lettuce, with a small mix of other veggies and occasional fruits. I would figure that if romaine lettuce were to cause bladder stones, it would have happened by now. although i could be wrong.
i'll do some research and get back to you.

Seagull's list is old. Please see this page for really current, up-to-date and quite thorough information about the nutritional needs of your guinea pigs: www.guinealynx.info/nutrition.html

That page has a lot of info about veggies and recommended veggies to feed. Please bookmark it for future study and reference.
