Question
i have read many sites about guinea pigs. it seems that some say that you should feed spinach and other sites say not too. that it is too high in calcium and other toxins. it is so confusing and i have no idea what to feed them that wont go bad too quickly.

Answer
Hi Tennille

I feed my piggies spinach occasionally and it has never done them any harm. The key is to ensure that the food is clean and free from pesticides. Spinach, in small amounts provides good nutritional value for pigs and I shall continue giving it to mine.
