Hi! I wanted to know if I could give my guinea pigs a bite of dried cranberry. I give raisions (of course not often, like one raison a month.) sometimes as a treat and wanted to know if they could have craisins to. Thanks!
 
Dried fruit is not a good choice for guinea pigs.
It is way too high in sugar and can get stuck on their teeth.
So i would say a definite no to both craisins and raisins (and all other dried fruit).
Just offer a small piece of fresh fruit as an occasional treat.
 
I wouldn't feed either. For a treat, you could feed a fresh grape instead, but raisons and cranberries are dried and full of added sugars, so I would definitely avoid them.

Ok thank you!
 
Yes, I noticed that dried cranberries have added sugar - seeing as we have rather a lot of them in the house at this time of the year! How about giving them dried pea flakes instead, I'm sure your piggies will wheek with joy for those?!😁
