Yes they can, i feed mine it. I peel it first & cut it into strips/chunks. Some love it, others aren't fussed but they all love Bistro Salad which has grated beetroot in it & all eat it :))
 
not sure i would feed it to my cottonbud (white guineapig) she makes such a mess of tomatoes i can only imagine what colour she would end up Paris hilton pink!
 
They can, but it is one of those foods which some eat and others won't touch. I'm wary of the stains; tomatoes and red pepper are bad enough!
 
I have images of Mulan and Belle looking like vampires after I give them beetroot now...:))
 
Yes, raw beetroot is an excellent source of Vit C.

I agree with Nikki ... peel it first (as the peel can be untasty) and then cut into strips.

From my experience, beetroot varies in its taste. Sometimes my piggies love it and sometimes they don't. Weird!
 
My pigs love beetroot but look out for the pink wees and poos after!
