Can I Feed My Piggies Coconut?

[Cloudandshadow]

i was just wondering if it's ok to feed my guinea pigs coconut and if I should feed it very little or as a regular treat. Also if guinea pigs enjoy it. Thank you!

I'm sure that I've read that you shouldn't feed it - it's high in fat and phosphorus.
I wouldn't give it at all.

I read that it is high in fat too.

They shouldn't have coconut at all. It isn't toxic but it's veryyy high in fat

I've seen a winter version of the Carrot Cottage on sale ( it has dried coconut on the top - rather than dried carrot ). I advise members not to buy these for their Guinea pigs - for the reasons explained above.
