Question
Hi,
   Can gunieapigs eat passion fruit leaves???
thank you.

Answer
I know that the fruit is safe in small quantities, but I'm honestly not sure about the leaves.  The best rule of thumb is if you have any doubt don't feed them to your pigs. If you'd like to offer them the fruit keep it in small pieces and only on occasion. The fruit is very high in sugars, which they don't need.

My pigs are crazy about watermelon rinds, cantaloupe and any other melon rinds. So we eat the parts we like and the pigs get to feast on what we would otherwise throw away. It's usually a trial and error with most pigs to see what they like or not.
