Aww, Bicy and his narny!  I've never tried mine on banana before. I might try my batchelors on it sometime as a rare treat.  I know they say not to give it to tortoises because they might choke on it so I never tried it with the piggies. |

That looks like he's enjoying it! I sometimes give mine a small slice of banana, but they sniff it and try something else. It's always gone later though  |

In France he also sell this junk food, with honey all this,He have really found everywhere  Quote "Cherries : Always remove the stones and stalks before offering to your guinea pig. " In France the stem cherry is known for these good under the urinary infections (for example: a cystitis) of the guinea pig, do we infuse in water. I have also given the tails of cherries from my garden, 100% natural  |

That's interesting Audrey, thanks for the information.  I didn't know the cherry is used for urinary tract infections. Do you feed the stalks of the cherry to your guinea pigs? I didn't know they could eat that either. |

I got round to reading last week's Sunday paper today, and found an article on the number of dogs that were being slowly poisoned by their owners giving them unsuitable treats - including chocolate, grapes and sultanas. I didnt know dogs couldnt tolerate those, so I thought I'd pass it on, as well as being a reminder that not everything we eat is good....
You know of course that chocolate is poisonous for guinea pigs, but I dont know about grapes and sultanas - I hope they're ok cos mine have definitely had grapes. They've turned their noses up at gooseberries and blackcurrants recently, but a slice of nectarine seems to have been enjoyed.

As far as I know grapes are fine - ours have had these on the odd occasion. As with all fruit they really are to be fed as a treat, as they are quite high in sugar. |

I read somewhere that piggys love banana skin. Is this wrong Doris? They do love it, but they shouldn't have it because bannanas are sprayed with cyinide to make them ripen which is poisonous to them. |
