The guts are usually not bad, but can possibly contain poisons or certain parasites that can be dangerous. Usually they are fine though and very nutritious. Fish bones can be quite dangerous, because they can get stuck in the throat, stomach or intestine and cause life-threatening problems. For this reason, I recommend avoiding feeding fish bones. I hope that helps and all is well with Oliver.
