As you can see nectarines contain a small amouont of phosphorus, a hint of calcium and fat, they are quite acidic and are quite sweet.
Based on this information, guinea pigs can eat nectarines, but only only once or twice a week in small amounts.
However, do cut it up and throw away the stone. They can also eat the skin which is lovely and soft.
