Does anyone know if Chins can eat Asparagus...I wanted to cook some and thought about adding it as a treat for my two little ones.

Thanks!

No fresh fruits or veggies...period!  You can give dried fruits, though.

yes that's what I would think.Chins can't do gas.
I have said mine have nibbled dandelion but that's it a nibble in the yard. I'd just move them along if they got to interested.
I have tried mine with fresh fruit now and then, they never eat it.
I have always found if it goes in wet It comes out wet.
I know Jo Ann has tried, but you know her, it's a very rare treat.

So true Star.  yes

There was a thread a little while ago were someone gave one meat!! Yes he ate it but it killed him.
I have tried fresh apple & banana. They love banana yogurt.
I stick with tried and true. Dried fruit & cereal, and sunflower seeds on occasion.

Jo Ann was worry about the chemicals in dried fruit, but what I buy seems to have nothing but dried fruit.  Shrug
