I wouldn't think my Guinea pigs can eat these(can they?) but a check in wouldn't hurt . Any thing that helps is appreciated , thanks
 
Sadly they are not suitable for guinea pigs.
In general things like seeds should be avoided, as well as nuts and egg (guinea pigs don't eat any animal products).
So they contain a lot of things on the banned food list.
Personally I think it is disgusting that these are marketed for guinea pigs and rabbits, as they are totally inappropriate for both species.
 
Pop some hay in a paper bag with the handles cut off or an empty toilet roll cut down the long side. You pigs will find these very exciting. You could also use an empty cardboard egg box and put yummy treats in it like some forage or veg inside poke some through holes in the lid too. Close the lid and let your piggies work out how to get the treats.
 
You could get some different variety hay like orchard grass or Timothy hay this would be a delicious treat for you piggies
 
How about some herb treats, dill, rosemary, fennel or a little parsley?
 
So why are they allowed to market them as suitable for rabbits and Guinea pigs? That's wrong,I would hate to have bought them and made my piggies sick..I nearly bought something similar the other day in my local supermarket 😠😱
