Answer
hello Maria.
I am sure oatmeal is fine for guinea pigs, providing it is in small quantities as it can be quite fattening, Guinea Pigs should really have a diet mainly of the cereal or Nuggets you feed them and greenery. Just make sure there is no extra added ingredients like chocolate as this can be harmful to guinea pigs.

check the oatmeal ingredients and feed in small quantities. Your Guinea pig will let you know if he doesn't like it, they are very fussy creatures and seem to know what is good and bad for them themselves.

hope this is helpful.
