Can Guinea Pigs Eat Dry Leaves?

Dry leaves are those types of leaves that have been cut off from their stalks and so have life in them anymore.

They have lost their freshness and their original color.

Dry leaves may gain a different texture compared to their previous state.

Yes they can nibble them, but its doubtful they would really want to.

My guinea pigs never go for dry leaves and much prefer the freshness of those that have just fallen or been picked from a tree.

Dead or dry leaves are those leaves which have fallen from trees or plants and are longer connected to the stem which gives them nutrients and life.

As a result, they dry up and die.

With this they lose their color and texture, becoming brown, grey, yellow or black in color and becoming more brittle in texture.

They become easier to break up as a result.

Yes, they can eat them, although they won’t like them as much as fresh leaves to eat.

They much prefer green leaves than anything else.
