Mine like them, but thats not saying much, mine will eat anything. No idea on sugar, they only get them occasionally when they are reduced at the supermarket.

I have no idea but as carrots are about 80% water, their high sugar content is only in 20% of the carrot anyway. So overall its not as high as people think!

mine prefer carrots but will eat parsnips ( but then they will eat anything to be honest) but back to the question............................ I think there is more starch in parsnips than carrots so a little more like eating a potato in terms of feeling full!
I only offer a random parsnip occasionally

Cooked parsnips have 4.8g of sugar / 100g, and boiled carrots have 3.45g, so pretty much the same when cooked and I therefore assume not much different when raw!

Personally, I want the parsnips roasted in honey

No, parsnips should be brought to the boil, drained, then rolled in a 50/50 flour/parmisan mix with seasoning, then roasted.
Pony 1 eats them pony 2 doesn't, both love carrots. Would think parsnips are sweeter than carrots.

I have 2 that go nuts for parsnips and one that thinks they are the vegetable of Satan!
Love the idea of them rolled in flour/parmesan and roasted - will try that! Sounds loverly.
My lads love nuts, especially almoinds, any dried fruit, bananas, fennel seeds and so on - so experiment!
