Title: Melon
Post by: sarahR on July 15, 2012, 08:13:15 PM

George has just eaten a slice of melon skin and all is it bad for him. He did chew it but I couldn't get it of him.

Ours often eat melon, most of them leave the skins, but Oscar used to eat the skins as well.

If he's not used to eating fruit in that quantity he may have a few loose poos, but other than that I wouldn't worry ;)

No problem, Coco loves melon and will eat the skin too if she gets a chance  :005:

Elluie loves melon, but has never eaten the skin.

William has stolen and eaten melon skin several times, usually at my friend's house where it's put aside for the guinea pigs. If it's within William's reach he downs it in double quick time, hardly chewing it at all >:(

If George ate his this evening and he's not used to much fruit I reckon you'll be getting up at about 4.00am to let him in the garden :005:. Seriously though, he'll be fine :D
