"Please peel a banana for me. I only have about an inch at a time but banana is yummy!" says Lola.
Some of the Piggyfriends like the peel too but it needs a wash first and the sticky label removed.
Slave says that banana is like Marmite - one either detests it or loves it - she hates both. Her deputy Slave loves both and takes a banana to work with him every day.
Piggies that would normally run and hide from a banana will often enjoy it as part of a syringe feeding regime. It is easy to mash and draw up into a 1ml. syringe. Bananas are especially useful for a piggy suffering with diarrhoea as they are an important source of potassium, which is quickly lost at this time.
Do any piggies reading this like banana?
We are still hoping that a piggy whose name begins with a B will send in his/her pigture. Slave is always sneaking up on us with her camera but we love to see other piggies too.
I can't imagine a piggy not liking banana - I guess we've been lucky (?) - ours have all loved it. I am glad to know I'm not the only one who feeds peel as well from time to time! But yes, only after a thorough washing. All of ours like but Fergie can't stand it touching her lips, so she pulls her lips really far back off her teeth and eats the banana really funny. It's SO CUTE! I need to get a video and share it, she looks so derpy when she eats banana and it makes us laugh every time :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing - Lola sure is a cutie!
Thank you Lora! We'd love to see a video of Fergie.
ReplyDeleteWe both like banana, Hoobie does that lip thing with tomatoes wol
