Can guinea pigs eat the skin off a carrot?

Question

Thanks :)

Answer 1

Yes! You can feed your piggy lots of different kinds of veggies. Never feed them Iceberg Lettuce, or ANY potato. I always give my pigs the left overs from fresh broccoli, and cauliflower, and since the grocery store is starting to get full of lots of nice fruit let them have a strawberry, grapes, melons. I love to see their red lips after they have strawberries!

Can Guinea Pigs Eat Carrots

Answer 3

Yes, but i advice that you dont give your piggy lettuce or cabbage because its bad for their digestion. It is important for guinea pigs to have some veggies in their diet because their full of vitamin C which is what they need because like humans, they cant make vitamin C themselves. Although the dry food contains vitamin C guinea pigs ALWAYS apreciate some yummy veggies! They see them as treats and sometimes make a wheeking sound when they know their gonna get veggies. Has your piggy got a friend because i noticed in your description that you refered to him and one guinea pig and if he is one guinea pig then i think he will need a friend to keep him company when your not around :) Good luck with owning a guinea pig, im sure your gonna' be a wonderful mother! :D

Most definitely. Guinea Pigs need lots of fresh vegetables and even some fruits in their diet. Here's a list of things guinea pigs love: Red Pepper (or green/yellow pepper. Red has the highest vitamin C concentration) Carrots - both the root and the green tops are perfectly safe for your guinea pig. Apples - just make sure they don't have any seeds. Oranges Leafy greens like red lettuce, romaine, Boston lettuce, (be sure to feed leafy vegetables in moderation to avoid diarrhea, and feed spinach a bit sparingly to avoid potential kidney problems.) Cucumbers Broccoli (in moderation since it can be gassy and cause a gas pain) Green beans Grapes Bananas Dandelion Greens strawberries (in moderation) oranges or clementines. A helpful way to feed these to your piggie if they're being picky is to scoop out some pulp from half an orange and leave some in it so they can lick it without needing to chew on it if they're not diggin' the texture. spinach cherry tomatoes in moderation cilantro dandelion greens parsley - either curly or flat. They love it and it smells delicious when you're tearing some sprigs off the bunch to give it to them! Here's a list of things NEVER to feed your guinea pig: Iceberg lettuce - this won't kill your guinea pig if you give him or her a little piece, but it has virtually no nutritional value, is quite fibrous and watery. It's been known to give guinea pigs diarrhea. With the great selection of other more leafy, dark lettuces available, just avoid this one and go with one of the others. Any type of cabbage - like iceberg lettuce, a small piece is not likely to severely harm or kill your guinea pig, but it's very gassy and not good for their little systems. Stay away from it if you can. Cauliflower - also very gas-producing. Potato peelings - not that this would be something you'd be likely to give your piggie anyway, but toxins can exist in potato skins, particularly if they've begun to turn green, and they can be poisonous. Just toss them in your garbage disposal or trash instead of your piggie. Raw beans (this doesn't mean green beans. This means things like raw, hard kidney beans, split peas, pinto beans, etc.) Shelled nuts or seeds, particularly things like sunflower seeds or 'bird seed' type mixes, pumpkin seeds, peanuts, etc. Rhubarb - the leaves of the rhubarb plant are poisonous, and the stalks are very, very sour. Any type of meat or fish. Guinea pigs are vegetarian and looove a salad over a steak any day. Dairy Products - while many stores will offer 'yogurt drops' and other 'treats', dairy is not healthy to feed your guinea pig and can actually cause problems. Feed natural treats like veggies instead of store brand treats. It's less expensive and your piggie will be much happier. Chocolate, coffee or other caffeine-containing products. Alcohol (this should go without saying!!) Cookies/bread*

YES. They are rodents. They can eat the shell off a walnut. Why would the skin on a carrot stop them?
