Can my Guinea Pig eat Basil?

Yes they can!

Up to 7 days a week

Guinea pigs can eat basil as part of their staple vegetable portion because it is a nutritious leafy green that adds variety to their diet. It is important for guinea pigs to have a minimum of 5 different leafy greens as part of their staple vegetable portion, and basil can contribute to meeting this requirement. However, as with any new food, it’s best to introduce basil gradually to ensure that it agrees with your pet.
