Here's why:
* High in sodium: Salsa often contains high amounts of salt, which is harmful to guinea pigs and can cause serious health problems.
* Spices: Most salsas include spices like onions, garlic, and chili peppers, which are toxic to guinea pigs.
* Acids: The acidity of tomatoes and other ingredients in salsa can upset a guinea pig's delicate digestive system.
Guinea pigs require a diet of hay, fresh vegetables, and a small amount of guinea pig pellets. Always check with your veterinarian before introducing any new foods to your guinea pig's diet.
