Occasionally. Most herbs are really high in calcium, and should only be given as treats.

From what I know teeth chattering means they are warning you they are NOT happy.

Oh, Then I wouldn't worry about that. Mine often still have hay they are chewing like cows have cud. But cows throw up from one stomach into there mouth and chew and reswallow it. Piggies just seem to sometimes enjoy their food.

Same thing. Too much calcium for anything but an occasional treat.
