Carrot ok as a treat ?

shafach · 05-09-2008, 10:18 AM

Hi all,
Is it ok to give my two hermanns a bit of grated carrot as an occasional treat ? they are on a diet of mainly weeds and flowers, just thought it might be a change for them...

An odd lot of carrot will do no harm, but I wouldnt regularly feed it.

Thanks Sandy for getting back to me, just thought as a wee treat now and again, as they love cucumber so much (again, a rare treat), just wondered about a bit of carrot...

I do give a little grated carrot to my meds from time to time....I think its on days when I cant find flowers so it pleases my eye....and they like it too
