Question
Hi we were given a guni pig for our boys about 3 days ago I know the basics but I' don't know what not to feed them like this morning I found red licorice in the cage I did take that out just to be safe but my son had given him ( we think ) 2 small pieces

Answer
Hi Carol

Ok You feed guinea pigs a variety of things

Vegetables// Avoid Cabbage as it may cause
Fruits
Grain// Guinea pig pellets
fresh Hay

The licorice might be harmful so if the guinea pig ets sick then take him to a vet or your local petshop.

Good Luck
All the best
