Hiya
My names Devin, and I have two awesome guinea pigs, both male. I was wondering why youre only supposed to feed them a limited amount of carrots. Does anybody know?
Thank you!
Devin

Carrots are loaded with sugar. Too much sugar is bad for pigs.

Too much sugar and fattening, and they can overdose on the carotene/ vit k, which is bad for their livers. They also have little vit c. There are better things to feed them.
