Safe Wild Matter
There are a great many wild plants that are extremely poisonous and potentially fatal for to guinea pigs, so it may be best to stick to what’s on this list.
- Blackberry stems
- Clover
- Dandelion leaves (in moderation - they are actually a guinea pig laxative)
- Grass (should be daisy and buttercup free, and not in the form of not mowings as this could have mould)
- Plantains
- Sow thistle (not with a woody stem)
- Shepherd’s purse
- Trefoils
