Can guinea pigs eat cheese and do they like it?

No, guinea pigs should not eat dairy products. Dairy products like cheese, milk, yogurt, and ice cream can all be problematic for guinea pigs. The high fat and lactose content of dairy products can cause digestive problems and other health issues for guinea pigs.

A guinea pig's diet should mainly consist of hay, vegetables and other fresh foods. Some healthy treats for guinea pigs include:

\t
• Fruits
\t
• Leafy greens
\t
• Cooked sweet potatoes
\t
• Carrots
\t
• Small amounts of plain, cooked pasta

It is important to always check with your veterinarian before introducing any new food into your guinea pig's diet.
