As you can see rosemary contains a lot of calcium and quite a bit of fat but no sugars, phosphorus and acid.
It does however contain a very high amount of vitamin c however which is great.
Because of its calcium and fat content it can only be fed to guinea pigs once a week in small amounts at the most. It is not the best herb for guinea pigs to eat.
