I was talking to my friend who got her first guinea-pigs in July and I asked her if they liked any treats because I have a whole drawer full of them that mine won't eat. She said that all hers like is a mineral wheel lick, and she said I should try it with mine. I went into the pet shop today and I thought I bought a mineral lick, but it's a salt lick. It says it stops the guinea-pigs natural craving for salt. Do you think it's bad for them? It says that it's a good addition to their diet on the back but I wanted to see what the rest of you thought. Right now Roy is sniffing it and looking confused lol

I wont not give it to them, they don't need extra salt. is most cases it will just cause you more problems then anything else.

I agree, I've never given mine salt licks, as i have also heard about problems with them  |

Ok thanks for telling me. Mine don't get any treats now, they have vegetables in the morning and hay and guinea-pig food at night and grass normally in the day. I've stopped buying pet shop treats because there could be all sorts of rubbish in them
