You don't want to feed
cavies sunflower seeds as no seeds should ever be fed because of obesity problems and choking hazards. Oats are a grain and should not be fed as
cavies have a hard time digesting grains. There are other alternatives that you can use instead of sunflower seeds/hulls.
I know many people on gl have suggested coconut oil. It would fine to use topically because you aren't feeding it to them and it's not quite the same as feeding them coconuts. If they lick a bit off while grooming themselves, it's not going to hurt them. I wouldn't mix it in with their food though.
I'm not sure on the grapeseed oil myself.
