Can my Guinea Pig eat Brussels Sprouts?

86

Yes they can!

2-3 times a week

Guinea pigs can eat Brussels sprouts, but they should be given in moderation. The high carbohydrate content in Brussels sprouts can predispose guinea pigs to bloat, digestive upset, or enterotoxemia. Additionally, Brussels sprouts may cause gas or bloating in guinea pigs, so they should be observed carefully for any signs of distress after consuming this food item. If any abnormal behavior or changes in bowel movements are noticed, the Brussels sprouts should be removed from their diet, and a veterinarian should be consulted for advice.
