Is this okay to give my cavy?

Question

guinea pigs treats- one of the recipes calls for olive or vegetable oil

is that okay?

Answer 1

Honestly, don't bother with them. Your guinea pig won't bother eating them anyways. They'd much rather have some fresh vegetables! Treats are never healthy, so why feed it to your guinea pig?

Answer 2

i wouldnt, i've found some recipies that dont need either of them

Answer 3

I would be hesitant to give any oil to a pig. Your best bet is some fresh clean grass, a small piece of fruit, or veggies. Your piggie will appreciate those much more than treats!

Answer 4

Veggies are better for your piggy. www.guineapigcages.com and www.guinealynx.com have veggie charts.

Avoid all those treats you see in the petstore. They are like those candy bars in the grocery store, full of sugar and other fattening ingredients.

Answer 5

Like it was already said. they would prefere fresh veggies. Or some fruits.

Like maybe

carrots

apples

red cabbage

calliflour

brocclii

parsley

those are my guinea pigs favorites

Answer 6

Both are fine. Some people actually give olive oil to constipated guinea pigs... and vegetable oil has no harmful ingredients to them in it.
