As you can see raspberries contain a hint of phosphorus, calcium, and fat and contain a little sugar. The are also a little acidic.
They also contain a nice amount of vitamin c.
With this in mind there is not much wrong with them, it’s just their acidic content stops them from being fed daily. Every other day, say three or four times a week should be plenty for them. But they are great fruit for piggies to have.
