🥕 Can Guinea Pigs Eat Carrots?

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)
