‘Can guinea pigs eat cucumbers?’
With them being green (which always seems to go down well with guinea pigs), very water based and low in sugar, they should go down pretty well with my guinea pig.
So today, I gave ‘Rocket’ a treat and put some sliced cucumber in his bowl. I chopped up a couple of slices (a bit too much in hindsight). Check it out here

Needless to say they went down very well and was gone before I knew it. Guinea pigs love cucumber and it is commonly known as one of their favourite foods.

Its pretty tempting to make them a regular part of their diet as they love it so much.
But this isn’t a good idea, as too much cucumber is really too much of a good thing.
Here are some facts about cucumbers and guinea pigs that I picked up which will help me in the future.
