Checking if new amazon pig snack is safe

[Christianrocket]

i bought a new snack for my pigs that were marketed as guinea pig safe but it says it contains radishes which is only safe in small amounts so i figured id ask here to be completely sure,
the snack is freeze dried strips of Rock Sugar Radish, Purple potatoes Sand Radish , And apples,

Personally I don’t feed my guineas any man made pet treats as they are usually unhealthy and unsuitable. I’m not sure on what the process of freeze dried fruit is so I’m not confident to advise if they are safe or not.
Though potatoes are not suitable for guinea pigs so I wouldn’t use them.

I wouldn’t personally feed them. Carrots and apples are high in sugar and freeze drying them with concentrate it. Also they shouldn’t eat potatoes.

i wouldn’t feed them - far far too high in sugar and piggies shouldn’t eat potatoes

Hi

It is yet another sales gimmick for the unwary, unfortunately. Not recommended for guinea pigs.

I had a similar situation where a very well-meaning relative bought what was called a treat for guinea pigs but we couldn't give it to them as it wasn't good for them at all. Brands need to stop selling these

The only treats mine get is a different type of fresh veg or herb. I don’t buy commercial items.

I wouldn't feed them. Mine get sprigs of Coriander (Cilantro) as a treat.

Another vote for no as potatoes shouldn't be fed to guinea pigs, unfortunately.
