We guinea pigs have a sweet tooth. We love sweet fruits like
mango and
cantaloupe. Raspberries are sweet, but
not as sweet as those fruits are, so you can feed them to us a little more often. Don't overdo it, though! If you leave it up to us, we'll eat way more than we should. Today our humans gave us four raspberries, each one cut in half.
 |
| That would be two each, if I shared it fairly with Buffy. That's a big if. |
 |
| Despite reviewing a lot of disappointing fruits and vegetables, our level of anticipation never goes down when we smell something new to try! |
First impression: It's good. Really good. Good enough, in fact, that I think Buffy won't be getting her equal share unless she eats really fast.
 |
| From now on, I eat from this half of the bowl, and you eat from that half. Deal? |
Raspberries are juicy, flavorful, and sweet, but not so sweet that our humans have to worry about us eating too much sugar (that is, with reasonable portion sizes). Raspberries get 5/5 stars!
aww soo cute! I have a guinea pig as well. Yours are soo cute! Boy are girl?
ReplyDeleteThanks! We're two girls and one boy.
ReplyDeleteMe and my sister Kiki love strawberries, our humans give us 2 big salads everyday. Do yours?
ReplyDeleteMy guineas love kale, cilantro, parsley and cucumber. He is so much more into veggies than fruit but he will eat the odd grape or strawberry. I think fresh food for them is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteAdult non-pregnant GPs should have only small amounts of kale it is very high in calcium.
DeleteI have four guinea pigs and one on the way two of them eat fruits and veggies and the other two don't I sure hope the baby eats them!
ReplyDeleteMy Mommy gives me, Precious, my roommate, Crystal, and her sister, Cuddles, all raspberries and cantaloupe when we're good. Hehe, we do fight sometimes.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like your mommy is really good to you. We like how our humans give us such a variety of fruits and vegetables.

ReplyDeleteProbably not, as it would hurt their teeth.
