Is Apple safe for Guinea Pigs?

98

Safe!

1-2 times a week

Guinea pigs can occasionally have apple as a treat, but it should be given in moderation due to its high sugar content. It is important to remove the apple seeds as they contain a small amount of amygdalin, which can release cyanide into the bloodstream if chewed and ingested. However, if a seed is accidentally consumed, there is no need to panic. Additionally, apples should be avoided as a regular part of their main diet as the high sugar content can lead to obesity.
