NO, guinea pigs have a natural allergy to peanuts, it can cause a disease called aflatoxicosis, which can be fatal.

Some Guinea Pigs can be allergic to peanuts, so it's not the best idea.

I have a guinea pig and I wouldn't feed him any peanuts. Stick to the veggies and some fruit.

Although Guinea Pigs are Rodents, (unlike mice) they will not eat anything. There is special food to feed them (Guinea Pig Pellets). They look like the Rabbit Pellets,except they are Black or Brown,instead of Green.

NO! Guinea pigs should never be fed any type of nuts or seeds. They rae very fattening and pose a huge choking hazard for them. Stick to veggies.

No!!! Peanuts cause allergic reactions in MOST animals. Stay away from oils of any kind.

I wouldn't risk it, but I think you can give them peanuts without shells

only if they are raw and unsalted.
They have a lot of fat in them.
I would tend to give them only as an treat once a week.
And they can eat the shell off, it will sharpen thier teeth.
Best to stick with carrot, celery, parsely, apple, grapes.
not too many grapes, cuz they are really watery.
have fun.
