Hi Nancy,
As a treat, a little itty bit of banana won't hurt.
Not too much though, because sugary foods cause excess
gas as the sugar ferments in their gut, which in a
piggie can be harmful (if there is a lot). It also
contributes to obesity because of the extra calories.
Not that a little bit of a treat here and there should
be harmful. My piggies like apples and carrots
occasionally. They've never gone for bananas though.
Too flavorful for their taste! They like bland old
lettuce.
