I read in a book that they like rolled oats and dry unsweetened breakfast cereals. Is it OK to feed them this? I assume rolled oats is the same as porridge oats? With the cereals, does it mean something like weetabix or shreddies? Also I read on the internet they like bread, again is this right? If so brown or white, toasted or just a slice of it?

This has been puzzling me for a few days and I'm not feeding them anything unless I'm sure it's OK!

Thanks

I personally wouldn't feed them bread or cereals, they're full of unnecessary starch, sugars and salt. As for oats, you can, but again, very starchy, I'd only ever be inclined to feed oats to an unwell guinea pig that needed additional energy.
