Should I Give My Guinea Pig A Salt Lick?

[Mishatoe]

I recently learned that salt licks can apparently give them kidney problems. I had one in my piggie cage but I took it out because I was worried. Should I put it back?

salt lick for piggies? I have never heard... I know that salt is bad for them and I also know that we should be very far from the treats and silly snacks sold at the petstore... My piggies eat only hay, fresh grass and some vegs (plus some pieces of pellets hidden on the floor), I see they are growing amazingly and in a good health...
I would not give them anything else...

I've heard they are not good for guinea pigs, sorry. I'm not sure how they would be beneficial.

Guinea pigs do not need salt licks, please keep it out from now on
