Can my Guinea Pig eat Chicory, Witloof?

117

Yes they can!

Up to 7 days a week

Guinea pigs can eat chicory or witloof as part of their staple vegetable portion, but it should be given sparingly due to its high calcium and phosphorous content. While it can be a delicious addition to a varied diet, it should not be the main component of their vegetable intake as they need a minimum of 5 different leafy greens to make up their staple portion. Overconsumption of chicory or witloof can potentially lead to health issues in guinea pigs.

Vitamin C (per 100g): 2.8 mg
Calcium (per 100g): 19 mg
