Can guinea pigs eat Tortilla Chips?

I was wondering if Guinea Pigs eat Tortilla Chips.

The ingredients are Whole Yellow Corn, Corn Oil, and Salt.

Can they eat them?

    The question isn't can they but rather should they! They are fully capable of eating them and probably would if you offered them some. On the other hand, they have way too much salt and fat to be good for them! Would they drop dead at once from eating them - no, but that doesn't make them a healthy food!

    Can Guinea Pigs Eat Chips

  • 1 decade ago

    Hello,

    No guinea pigs are not allowed to eat tortilla chips. There is too much salt in them! Also it could give them diarrhea which is dangerous!

    my guinea pig eats just one every so often as i dont yet have a salt lick for her...so she can get the needed salt a guinea pig has to have...when i say one i mean one about every few days or so but not a massive one!
