As you can see croutons contain quite a bit of fat in them, but that is about all of the bad stuff.
However, they also contain no vitamin c.
This means that they are fine for guinea pigs to eat, but not often, one to two times a week at the most. However, they hold no nutritional benefit for them whatsoever so are not a food that should be used in a guinea pig’s diet. Just an occasional snack.
