Why can't I provide my guinea pig with things it likes as a treat such as the occasional salt lick or yogurt drop?

And why are salt licks good for horses and bad for guinea pigs? I would appreciate, trust, and follow advice with more explanation.

Want proof? DO a search on the forum. I'm sure you'll find some proof that they cause damage.

Salt lick is unnessacary hazardess to their health and an all around waste of money.

GP's are STRICt herbavours (sp?). They are lactose (SP?) intolerant.

Guinea pigs and horses are two COMPLETLY different animals therefore they have different dietary needs.
