Can Guinea Pigs Eat Corn?

Corn can be a part of a healthy diet for guinea pigs, but it should be offered in moderation as a treat. While corn is not toxic to guinea pigs, it is high in sugar and can contribute to obesity if fed in large amounts. It is also important to note that corn is a starchy vegetable, which means it does not provide as much nutritional value as leafy greens and other vegetables that are high in fibre. Therefore, it is important to ensure that your guinea pig is getting a sufficient amount of fibre in their diet from other sources.
