Can my Guinea Pig eat Cherry Trees (Wild And Cultivated)?

No, they can never eat it!




Leaves contain cyanide; highly potent when they wilt


While cherries are fine to give as a treat, the leaves contain cyanide, a metabolic toxin, which becomes more concentrated when leaves wilt and dry out






 

Guinea pigs and rabbits should have a variety of at least 5 different types of leafy greens to protect against nutritional excesses and deficiencies. At least 80% of the diet should be a good quality grass or cereal hay.
