 Basil vs Parsley
« Thread Started on Jan 10, 2006, 4:59pm »

Well did my experiment today. gave my piggies both basil and parsley. Parsley I know is their all time favourite food but Basil has taken its place n ow. It went in no time afterwards they then they munched on the parsley which is now 2nd best. LOL

Mine love both, I suspect they wanted to eat both at once, and they couldn't!

From my little experiment I have to say that Parsley wins over all.. Don't think they are particularly keen on either one though really. I have seen Amber eating the Parsley and thats it. She has sniffed the basil a bit. I haven't seen Rosie eating either one yet! Will keep you updated and I will try this on my mums guineas later!

As I typed in an previous thread; they don't seem to take straight away to basil as it has a strong smell, try it again tomorrow, on the second or third feeding, they went crazy for it.
