Transcripts
hi so it's time for another episode of
what you can feed your guinea pigs and
we're going to do another herb today and
hopefully get on a little better than we
did with Brios what do you think H now
this is
coriander I love the smell of coriander

girl so coriander is just like your
parsley it's great to bulk at your
veggies and it's great for vitamin C but
again like The Parsley you have to be
careful because it can cause bladder
issues if you feed it too frequently so
as I said with the parsley if you've had
a guinea pig that has had bladder stones
or has had bladder issues then I would
avoid this again but
so they do really really like it so
providing that you haven't had any
health problems there's no reason why
you can't feed this two to three times a
week and well at least you're doing
better than Brios did she proper let me
