Can Guinea Pig Eat Basil?

We have not reviewed too many herbs so far. We've tried cilantro and dill, but I think that's all so far. Today, we're going review herb #3: basil. Keep in mind that basil is a food that you should only feed your piggy once or twice per week.
Our eyes are a little red from the camera flash. That's not the basil's fault.
The basil is pretty good. 
I like this. Not sure if I like it enough to steal Buffy's share after I'm done. We'll  see!
We'll give basil 4/5 stars. It was good, but we didn't go crazy for it like we do for certain other foods (like carrots).

  4. Bert & Theodore (aka TT) love fresh corn husk, baby corns and the silk. I don't give them too much silk but they tear up the fresh corn husk, especially the tender ones inside, right up next to the ear. They can't wait for corn season! I even freeze them some for a treat in the winter months. It gets a lil soft but they don't seem to mind at all.

  5. How much do you feed of basil at once for a single guinea pig? Chop likes it. His last owner, a coworker, gave us a basil plant when we got him. She gave him 2 leaves every other day, what is in the blown in the photo looks like a lot more than that. Just curious.
