I have heard this too! Not sure why though..........?

Guinea pigs should not eat cooked food, it often limits the nutritional value and most importantly, guinea pigs cannot digest cooked food.

Hope this helps.

Cooked veg diminishes the Vitamin C content apparently -
I only ever give raw veggies, corn on the cob including husks are a massive hit with all of mine. High in carbohydrates though so limit them.
