Is cabbage good?

Question
I've read that i should not feed my piggy any cabbage. Is that true? If yes, could you please tell me why?

Answer
Alex --

It is true that you should not feed guinea pigs cabbage.  It causes problems with their digestive tract and can actually kill them.  (Think of it as a really bad case of "gas".)

Hope this is helpful.  If you have any more questions, please feel free to contact me.  Good luck!
