sweetpeas, mangetout yes in moderation as they are quite sweet. I'd go easy on the beans though, although french beans are slightly better than runner. All bean seeds contain lectins which "bind to intestinal cells preventing nutrient absorption and, when they enter the blood stream, they also bind to red blood cells. This causes the red blood cells to clump together, a process referred to as “agglutination”, rendering them useless"
Thats why you always need to make sure kidney and soya beans are 100% cooked and if you ate 1 raw castor bean you'd proably die (Contains RICIN)

Tried mine with capsicum last night (bell pepper) as my ratties go nuts for it but the buns were totaly indifferent. So far they have mainly been eating the stuff I have grown myself in our garden but being autum this is starting to run out now and I am gonna have to buy some stuff:shock:
wow ok I didn't know that thanks for the advice, I only thought it was kidney beans that were poisonous. Think I'll stick with giving them the def safe veg and the occassional pea when we are having them
