I know that most fruits are ok, but what about lemons?
Hi! I'm new here and also to being a guinea pig parent. Our only piggie (so far) is a male, Chili, who is about 6 months old and has been with us since Christmas.
I have done research on what they like to eat and also what they should eat. While oranges are on the "okay to feed them" list, I cannot find anything about lemons (or limes).
Can anyone help me out and provide some insight? Is it okay to feed him these, if he will eat them? He seems really like the smell of the lemons (this is why we are curious) We are thinking that since they are citrus fruits that it should be okay, but we would like to get some advice before we actually try.
Will appreciate any input.

I doubt they'd like it since it's bitter.
Veggies acidic like that can cause chetlis too.

I had a few who didn't mind limes but it wasn't something I would give them on the regular
Two of mine like to nibble at lemons. The other two think it is worse than "the hand."
I had actually been wondering about this too because Neal REALLY wanted to try limes the other day, but I wasn't about to let him given that I know nothing about them. Next time maybe I'll give him a nibble to convince him he probably doesn't want them. :)

I was wondering about pink grapefruits because we got some really good ones the other day. Perfect balance of sour and sweet. I will let them try a small piece next time.
My boys do not get fruit often at all. Mostly greens for them, but boy do they love oranges!
