I was just wondering what sort of fresh herbs people feed to their buns and how much isn't too much?

Thanks.

Mint, corriander, parsley - curly and straight, basil, occasionally lavender (although lavender should not be given to lactating does!? - one of my useless bits of knowledge!)

Travis has a small amount of herbs with his veg each night.

He also regularly has dried herbs - packeted - these often have a vast array of herbs and other plants in them

Bella and Oscar have a mixture of 2/3 with some spring greens, basil, corriander, mint, dill, rosemary, tarregon, thyme but not chives I believe is toxic to buns as it's part of the onion family so a no no same with leeks :

Ooo yes, try some parsley and see your bun go crazy

I give parsley, basil (sweet and regular) and coriander. I try and buy the little pots from the cheapy Tesco section, so that they are still planted, the buns then throw the soil around and play with the plant pot.

Too much is bad because of calcium (I think) apparently.
