Ok, this is a wierd one, Bouncer has managed to consume 2 whole monkey nuts, shell & all today. I know we can give our pups peanut butter so the nust should be ok, what about the shells?
Re: Monkey Nuts? A bit of roughage Don't think a couple of them are of any concern - the shells are soft enough not to be a worry.
Re: Monkey Nuts? Molly picks up cob nuts, crunches them and downs the whole thing without breaking her stride.
Re: Monkey Nuts? I'm also not sure what that is but if it's a peanut or other nut with the shell I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Re: Monkey Nuts? [quote author=Oberon link=topic=8137.msg115007#msg115007 date=1412550421] So is a monkey nut a peanut with the shell still on? [/quote] Yes
Re: Monkey Nuts? I'm not sure if it is technically a nut, as the peanut grows underground. Pretty sure the roasted, salted variety isn't natural
Re: Monkey Nuts? Haha, exactly, they are more like a tuber. You can grow them just by planting raw peanuts. Never tried it but seen it.
Re: Monkey Nuts? I'm sure he'll be fine. Like Jac says - good roughage Peanuts are legumes - same family as lentils
