Feeding guidelines
Use sparingly — more of a hydration aid than a food.
Wash and slice into appropriate pieces. Remove strings for smaller animals. Leaves are edible and more nutritious than stalks.
Sometimes fed regularly because it's cheap and available — celery has almost no nutritional value and shouldn't be a regular food.
