Can Guinea Pigs Drink Chocolate Milk?

Chocolate milk is a great drink for humans to drink. My kids love it and have it often.

Chocolate milk is sweetened chocolateflavored milk.

It can be created by mixing chocolate syrup (or chocolate powder) with milk (from cows, goats, soy, rice, etc.).

It can be purchased pre-mixed with milk or made at home by blending milk with cocoa powder and a sweetener (such as sugar or a sugar substitute), melted chocolate, chocolate syrup, or a powdered chocolate milk mix.

Other ingredients, such as starch, salt, carrageenan, vanilla, or artificial flavoring are sometimes added. (source)

So can guinea pigs drink chocolate milk at all?

Unfortunately they can’t. Its just too sweet for them to drink, but also it will hurt their tummies as well.

So it is best to steer clear of giving it to them.

Stick to water instead, and keep the chocolate milk to yourself 🙂
