Re: Cookies !

You're right..I think one banana is abit much? It causes constipation, but I;m not sure blended. Same with oats, unsure about them.

Re: Cookies !

Well on account of the fact that Guinea Pigs cannot have oats, raisins or banana (well at least that much of it) I'm going to say no.

Re: Cookies !

The banana sounds like a little much, but I am not sure about the oats. Have you tried to Google search it?

Re: Cookies !

Oats aren't good for cavies because they have a hard time digesting grains. Banana can and does cause bloat so that is on the rare list but it's preferred that it not be fed at all. Raisins are also on the rare list, one or two raisins once a month per pig are ok.

This is NOT a cavy friendly recipe. Do not make it and feed it to them.

Sounds like a healthy recipe ... for a HUMAN. Don't feed these to your piggies. All of the ingredients are on the rarely/never list. And they don't eat cooked food. Eat the cookies yourself and give the piggies a nice salad.
