Can guinea pigs eat radishes?
The Royal Veterinary College lists radishes, plant and tops included, among plants that are safe for guinea pigs. Root vegetables should only be a small share, though (TVT).
How to serve it: washed, sliced, a small amount
Good to know: The leaves are fine too: Woodgreen also lists radish tops among suitable vegetables.
Questions
Can guinea pigs eat radishes every day?
No, only now and then and in small amounts.
Can rabbits eat radishes?
Yes, but only a little. RWAF lists radishes as suitable, but like other non-leafy vegetables they should be a smaller part of the fresh food. RWAF counts radish tops among the excellent leafy greens.
