Should I feed my pet Clover?
Yes—as an occasional treat for rabbits and guinea pigs, and rarely for chinchillas in tiny tastes. Prefer unsprayed clover you can identify.
How much can I feed them?
Offer a small handful a few times per week, not an all-clover meal. Introduce gradually to limit gas. Use the calculator linked in this article so fresh foods stay proportional to unlimited hay.
