Re: Kiwi

Yes but only once a week or less, as they are very high in sugar. Here this tells about which foods are best http://www.guineapigcages.com/forum/...arts-info.html

Re: Kiwi

I think they're ok to feed twice per week, if you are not feeding any other fruits or high-sugar items. We are feeding small portions twice per week, as they are very high in vitamin C, compared to other fruits. Since Frisky doesn't like bell peppers or other good veggie sources of vitamin C, this helps fill that gap.

Re: Kiwi

Mine aren't interested in the flesh - but they love the skin! If you can get them, try the gold kiwifruit.
