Can guinea pigs eat shelled peanuts?

Unfortunately, they cant eat them as part of a regular diet and preferably not at all. Peanuts are too high in fat, acidic content and sugar for guinea pigs to eat and will hurt their stomachs if they consume them.

If they have the occasional one or two, they will be fine for them to eat, but nothing more than that. They should be deshelled before you feed a peanut to them. But generally, they are a food to avoid feeding them.
