Best Answer

** Do not feed your guinea pig rhubarb, beans, or potatoes with green spots. These are all poisonous to your guinea pig!

** Do not feed your guinea pig any dairy products. Although some people may suggest feeding their guinea pigs yogurt in order to clean out their digestive systems, you should avoid feeding any dairy product to your guinea pig because they are lactose intolerant, which means their bodies can not

properly process daily products.

Also, excess calcium will cause guinea pigs to develop kidney and/or bladder stones. Do not feed your guinea pigs any nuts or meats.

Probably the best thing to feed your guinea pig is guinea pig food. Guinea pigs also like to eat any kinds of fruits or vegetables. They also like to nibble on grass sometimes too.
Rhubarb, Lettuce (not a lot of it anyway), these will both make your Guinea Pigs sick (diarrhoea). Another big no-no is Apples and Potatoes. They eat mainly vegetables, and things like Strawberries, Grapes and Grass (or Guinea Pig food from the Pet Store!!).
