can guinea pigs eat pumpkin?

[chloed]

just a quick question but, can guinea pigs eat pumpkin and the seeds?

 

[lauralucy]

i believe they can eat the fleshy part but not the skin or seeds. (the same bits we would eat)

Yes pureed pumpkin is often used to feed sick piggies........ it's something that whee can't buy here in OZ.... but i believe you can buy it in the USA ?

you could try baking with out oil some butternut pumpkin on some baking paper and see if the piggies like it.....if not you score!

You can get pumpkin puree on ebay/amazon etc if you can't get it locally - does cost a fair bit with postage charges but if you're that desperate....!
