Is it ok for them to eat, and will it harm them?

Can guinea pigs eat moss?

Well, the good news is that moss won’t hurt them if they happen to eat it.

Experience says that they will probably turn their noses up at it and ignore it as it really isn’t to their taste buds.

But if they happen to eat it, it should be fine.

Also, if you give your guinea pigs grass and it happens to have moss in it then they will distinguish it from the grass and separate them out.
