Yes, guinea pigs can eat carrots — but only in moderation. Carrots are rich in vitamin A and a good source of crunch for their teeth, but they’re also high in sugar, which can lead to weight gain and digestive issues if overfed.
✅ Benefits:
Rich in vitamin A, which supports eye health
Contains fibre, good for digestion
Helps naturally wear down teeth
⚠️ Risks:
High sugar content can cause obesity and diabetes
Overfeeding may upset their stomach
🥄 How Much to Feed:
1–2 small baby carrots or a few thin slices, 2–3 times per week
Always wash thoroughly and feed raw, not cooked
🚫 Avoid:
Feeding daily
Carrot tops in large amounts (they're high in calcium)
