Can Guinea Pigs Eat Donuts?

A donut or donut is a type of fried dough confectionery or dessert food.

The donut is popular in many countries and prepared in various forms as a sweet snack.

Donuts can be homemade or purchased in bakeries, supermarkets, food stalls, and franchised specialty outlets. (source)

If they nibble at one they will be fine but they aren’t a food to purposely be fed to a guinea pig.

Donuts are too full of fat and are often cooked and coated in sugar to be good for guinea pigs.

We love strawberry jam

There’s nothing quite like it on scones especially with clotted cream in the summertime.

An English tradition that we enjoy immensely.

So we know that guinea pigs can’t eat dairy. But what about strawberry jam?

Unfortunately, strawberry jam is far too sweet for them to enjoy.

Of course, if they are presented with it, they will nibble at it.

But they can’t eat sweet things too much and because strawberry jam is very sweet it is not good for them at all.

So as far as feeding it to your guinea pigs is concerned, steer clear of doing so and give them something they’ll enjoy instead.
