Can my Guinea Pig eat Watermelon Flesh?

Yes, they can eat it up to 1-2 times a week!




High in sugar - a guinea pig should have no more than a 2 cm x 2 cm piece twice a week.


Many guinea pigs love watermelon, and it is a great treat to increase water intake in the summer, but ensure that it is fed in moderation due to the high sugar content.





 

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.
