Grass is just a veg as far as they're concerned, fresh cut or grown, I doubt any ham would eat enough to cause digestive problems but they do often enjoy a small amount, if you grow it or the barley "grass" it's best to just give it for a short while under supervision, they usually dig it up if it's left in the cage anyway!

I do agree about giving them grass or anything else from outdoors barley, I would go so far as to say I'm a bit paranoid about it lol! I'm sure I only know the half of what's been on it but that's enough to put me right off!
