Can Guinea Pigs and Hamsters Eat Mushrooms?

Question
Hi, I bought a package of fresh mushrooms, wondering if guinea pigs can eat them, and also oranges, grapes, kiwis, etc.  Can you guide me into any foods (fruits and veggies) they should NOT eat?  Also the same question for hamsters.  Thanks!

Answer
Hello,
I wouldn't feed them mushrooms as some can be toxic and the problem is i'm not sure which can be toxic.
Oranges, grapes and kiwis are great to give to guinea pigs. Here is a link for more information on fruits and veggies for guinea pigs.

As far as fruits and veggies go for hamsters, don't give them any type of citrus. Carrots, peas, beans, squash are all good for hamsters. :) It's all so yummy. :)
