    Hi

    We will be doing a "herb garden" in a trough (when we get a trough :lollol:), and I will be planting some Guinea pig friendly herbs in there too. What i wondered was does anyone have some good tips of what is and isnt good for guinea pigs herb wise?

    Thanks

    Do you want something they'll eat or something they'll ignore? I'd say most herbs are very tempting to guinea pigs.

    Maybe raise the trough out of harms way then you can plant what you want.

    Want to have somethings that they can eat (as well as somethey wont) the trough will be out of reach for them, but i'll pick stuff and give it to them :)

    Thankyou :)

    Rabbits like comfrey I understand. Perhaps guinea pigs would eat it as well.
