Are oranges safe

Hi there, oranges can be given in Very small amounts once a week I think.

Yes, but only in very small quantities (like one small segment or half a segment) and not often at all. Fruit should not be on the menu more than twice a week and then only in small bits. Feeding fresh herbs is much tastier and better for guinea pigs.

The acidity in fruit and tomatoes can cause painful lip infections if you feed to much or too often. Depending on what is getting into the tiny cracks, cheilitis can be deadly, so it is not worth risking it!
