Unfortunately they are not so good for guinea pigs as they are usually processed and additives are put into them. They also cannot drink the syrup that they come in. It is far too rich for them and will hurt their tummies if they eat them.

So for the most part, canned pineapples are a food to be avoided as far as guinea pigs are concerned, however if you do happen to find some with no syrup or additives then they can eat them in small amounts. But to be honest, you are better off finding fresh pineapple to be on the safe side. For me its just not worth the hassle.
