I was shocked too to find out Carrots may not be good for guinea pigs. Someone posted it here. They gave a really good explanation that made sense. It's kind of like "junk food" but with nutrients not overly good for the guinea pig. They can eat carrots but it can be "overdone". Kind of like eating Ice Cream and being lactose intollerant.You can eat it but you may not feel well afterward.
Just use carrots and other fresh greens as a "snack" and NOT a food source. There could be some simonela attached to some of the greens causing serious health issues. Make sure it is washed well before giving to the pet!
