No, guinea pigs should not eat dairy products. Dairy products like cheese, milk, yogurt, and ice cream can all be problematic for guinea pigs. The high fat and lactose content of dairy products can cause digestive problems and other health issues for guinea pigs.

A guinea pig's diet should mainly consist of hay, vegetables and other fresh foods. Some healthy treats for guinea pigs include:

    \t
  • Fruits
  • \t
  • Leafy greens
  • \t
  • Cooked sweet potatoes
  • \t
  • Carrots
  • \t
  • Small amounts of plain, cooked pasta

It is important to always check with your veterinarian before introducing any new food into your guinea pig's diet.

I'm guessing you don't actually own guinea pigs or you do and you haven't read anything about them or done any research so i suggest possibly taking a few minutes to look up what guinea pigs eat

Mainly vegetables and some fruits such as Apples, blueberries, papaya, peach, pear, pineapple, plums raspberries, etc. The one I had was a picky eater however and mostly enjoyed Timothy Hay. Timothy hay is very important in a piggy's diet and should be available at all times. Be careful because some commercial feeds are still high in alfalfa which has been found to be unhealthy for adult guinea pigs.

If you feed them fruits you should only feed once maybe even twice a week it can reduce how many times they go number 2

if on a diet however you do not need to feed fruit but vegetables be sure at least one type is a leafy green type but in general it would be wise to feed 3 vegetable servings per day to maintain good health. You should check a website to see how much feed to provide them with although they usually give you a care sheet before or after purchase in most pet stores.

Guinea pigs aren't designed to eat and digest cheese, so it may get diarrhea or a belly ache. Unless you force-feed a large amount of unsuitable food, the animal will probably be just fine.
