Can my Guinea Pig eat Aconite?

No, they can never eat it!




Contains aconitine - cardiotoxin


This plant protects itself from being eaten by producing a toxin that can interfere with normal heart function.








 

Guinea pigs and rabbits should have a variety of at least 5 different types of leafy greens to protect against nutritional excesses and deficiencies. At least 80% of the diet should be a good quality grass or cereal hay.
