Can Guinea Pigs Eat Grapefruit?
Guinea pigs can technically eat grapefruit, but it is not recommended due to certain factors.
- Grapefruits are high in acidity, which can be harsh on a guinea pig's digestive system.
- The high citrus content can lead to stomach upset and gastrointestinal issues in guinea pigs.
- Grapefruits also contain a compound called furanocoumarin, which can be toxic to guinea pigs in large quantities.
- It is best to avoid feeding grapefruit to guinea pigs and opt for safer fruits and vegetables instead.
