can guinea pigs eat grapes?

[JoBo]

And if so does it matter what colour?

I have never fed my pigs grapes before so was not sure and hubby brought some home for them this evening xx

I've given mine grapes before and they all loved them! But as with any fruit, only give them a little. I don't think color matters. Also, I take out the seeds before feeding them grapes. Hope that helped!

yeah i've fed mine grapes aswell. I normally get seedless ones x

Yep, mine have green ones I just slice them in half I just don't give them loads. But they do love them. Yum yum

They can also eat the stems and woody bits - those are good roughage for them.

Oh I didn't know that.
Gerry loves grapes, well all things sweet actually, although he only gets very small amounts. Bob can't work out what to do with grapes, he just pushes them round with his nose. I've tried cutting them in half but he's not keen.

Mine always beg for grapes when we are eating them but they can't figure out how to eat them when we give them one.
We then cut it and they sniff it and then don't want it anymore.

So they can eat thehm but if they are like mine, they might beg for them and then not eat them.

all of my pigs would do anything for a grape! ;-)

My lot all love grapes but are given as a rare treat as they can be acidic. There is nothing better than seeing a piggie scoffing a grape!

Well, you learn something every day! I'll try them on the woody bits next time we have grapes....my two aren't wildly keen on the grapes themselves though. In fact, the only fruit they seem to like is pears and watermelon!
