If you have a particular
plant which is not listed on this page then please ensure you refer to
a wild plant book to identify it and see if it is toxic or safe to feed
- please err on the side of caution - if you are
not 100% positive of your identification or a plants safety then DO NOT
FEED TO YOUR PIG ! This page is in no way a complete listing of
poisonous plants - I am only including plants that I personally recognise
and that I have double checked with the sources listed below, and that
are commonly found in English Gardens.

Sources: This page is a work in progress and the list will be extended as my knowledge of wild plants grows. I have currently included only species of plants that I personally recognise. Whilst compiling this page I have consulted several books as follows:
I also double-checked several reputable 'Cavy' books as I wanted to ensure that the information is correct specifically for Guinea Pigs - I have not included any plants that I have been unable to verify by checking these books:
The Photos used on this page have all been taken by myself either in my garden or places I frequent regularly - hence some missing pics - I'm waiting for certain plants to grow so I can take photos ! |
