As you can see vine spinach does contain some phosphorus, calcium, and is quite acidic, plus a hint of fat.
It does also contain a huge amount of vitamin c as well.
From the above information, guinea pigs can eat vine spinach, but only on a weekly basis, because of its calcium, phosphorus, and acidic content.
