As you can see red currants contain a little phosphorus, a hint of fat and calcium, and are a little acidic, however they are quite sweet.
They also contain a very good amount of vitamin c.
With this in mind, guinea pigs can eat red currants, but only once or twice a week due their sugar content. But they are quite a nice fruit for guinea pigs to have as part of their diet.
