Can my Guinea Pig eat Silver beet?

333

Yes they can!

Up to 7 days a week

Guinea pigs can eat silver beet as it is a leafy green that adds variety to their diet. It is important for guinea pigs to have a minimum of 5 different leafy greens in their staple vegetable portion to provide them with the necessary nutrients. However, while silver beet can be a delicious addition to a guinea pig’s diet, it should not be given in excess as it contains oxalates which can interfere with calcium absorption.
