Yes they can!

2-3 times a week

Guinea pigs can eat chickweed in small quantities because the leaves contain toxic saponins, which can be harmful in large amounts. However, it is important to monitor the guinea pig’s response to the chickweed and ensure that it does not cause any digestive issues or other adverse reactions. Overall, while chickweed can be a suitable occasional treat for guinea pigs, it should be offered in moderation due to its potentially harmful compounds.
