Are tomato's poison to Guinea Pigs?

Question

I have a guinea pig and give her vegetables but I heard that the seed in tomatoes are poison so have never given her a tomoto. I have an overabundance of tomatos from the garden and wanted to know for sure if it would be bad for her to eat one.

Answer 1

Here is list of fresh foods that are suitable for guinea pigs and they are very popular with my little group. Remember every guinea pig is different, some guinea pigs may like certain foods like carrots or kale, but may turn their noses up at other foods like baby tomatoes or celery. Like us humans, they all have likes and dislikes.

All vegetable and fruit portions listed are for one guinea pig.

Red or Green Bell Peppers: One slice of a whole pepper, given daily, remove seeds.
Broccoli: Half a floret, including the stalk, twice weekly.
Kale: Two small leaves, twice weekly. Not always available in our supermarket.
Carrot: One baby carrot or a small slice of a large carrot, every other day.
Romaine Lettuce: One large leaf, twice weekly. Never give guinea pigs iceberg lettuce, its not nutritious and it can give them upset an tummmy and diarrhoea
Celery: One 1/4 of a stick, weekly. Very stringy so needs to be chopped up into small pieces to avoid piggy choking.
Dandelion Leaves: Two or three, average size, twice weekly, seasonal food during spring, summer and autumn.
Fresh Grass: Small handful, three times weekly, seasonal, spring, summer and autumn.
Baby Tomato's: One baby tomato or small plum tomato, every other day. Remember to remove the poisonous tomato top ( green part ). If using a slice from a larger tomato, remove seeds.
Cucumber: Very little nutritional value, but has high water content and is loved by most guinea pigs. One slice, include the outer layer which is their favourite part. Given every other day.
Parsley: Quarter of a handful, twice weekly.
Apple: One small slice, include peel, twice weekly, remove core and pips. Royal gala variety is a favourite. Many fruits are full of natural sugar and have fruit acid. To avoid your guinea pig getting a sore mouth, cut all fruit into small pieces and just give as an occasional treat because of the high sugar content.
Pear: One small slice, include peel, twice weekly, remove core and pips.
Seedless Grapes: One or two, must be seedless, three times weekly.
Satsumer Pieces: One or two segments, remove rind and pips, give weekly. You can give a a little of any orange citrus fruit.
Corn on the Cob: A recent new food, I'm unable to find corn on the cob with outer leaves, but the leaves can be eaten by guinea pigs. Roughly a dozen tiny segments, twice weekly.
Green Beans: Two green beans, twice weekly.

Answer 2

You can't give piggies the green tops of tomatoes- those are toxic to them.
Tomatoes in general should be given in moderation. They are quite acidic and cause mouth sores.

Answer 3

No, tomatoes are fine for guinea pigs. They love them. If you have a white guinea pig, it will look so funny afterwards because it's beard will turn orangish. hehehe

Answer 4

A plant is a plant or part of a flower used as food

Answer 5

Are Tomatoes Poisonous

Answer 6

Both are good for you, each fruit/vegetable has different vitamins. Therefore as more variety, as better. Vegetables have generally less sugar than fruits.

Answer 7

you are able to accurately supply them any form of tomato, yet do no longer supply too plenty, as this is somewhat acidic, and in case you feed it to them plenty they are in a position to get fungus. however the tomato plant itself isn't some thing you need to offer to them. of direction, in case you purely pop a tomato with the eco-friendly top into the cage, they in all risk is surely no longer very affected, yet attempt to evade it, as this is a few thing this is risky to them. (As potatoes, onions, garlic, leek, avocados, and rhubarb.) choose for the small tomatoes, i as quickly as gave mine a much bigger one, and that they've been given quite annoyed with the aid of fact they have been no longer able to chew over it.

Answer 8

We fed ours tomatos.
