Are red peppers good for guineas?

My 6 go mad for red peppers. They scoff them down, there always the first thing to go in their salad bowls.
Does anyone elses have a favourite food they go mad over?

Mine like them too, they have lots of vit c so I am led to believe.

 

[gogoguineas]

yes they're good for vitamin c i believe, only 2 out of my 4 like them tho! mallethead

Most pigs love red pepper. It's very high in vit c so good in this respect but it's also high in sugar so should be given in moderation. The yellow and green bell peppers have lower vit c (but still a good amount) but lower sugar so I alternate each day between green/yellow and red.

Three out of my 4 piggies love red peppers. The other one completely ignores them so I make sure to cut him up some carrot instead as thats his favourite.

Just got them some 'Curly kale'.
I think they may have a new favourite i've never seen them snatch something out of my hand so quick. Even had a guinea pig squabble over it.
Is this good for them?

They can have it in moderation, about a handful 1-2 times a week as it's very high in calcium
