Bell pepper?

[Sophie B]

I know guinea pigs are allowed to have bell pepper, I was just wondering how much to give? This would be the only veg they’ve had today. Is this too much?

My pigs love bell peppers, they will easily eat a whole one.

How many pigs is that between?

If I was chopping peppers for two pigs, they would be able to eat half.

Hi! As an emergency one-off it is OK but it is not very balanced. Excess vitamin C is simply excreted, it is not stored in the body so you can't feed a lot one day and nothing on the others.

Please feed a mix of veg if possible. This is the picture from our diet guide with a sample diet.

For my two. I would feed 4 of those chunks a day. But thats along side other veg aswell

I wish my two would eat peppers, fussy boys

I cut off an awful lot of the top and bottom, that should be able half or three quarters

We've almost run out of veg too, tonight mine got a slice of red pepper and a slightly limp little gem lettuce leaf each, this morning they had a slice of cucumber and a slice of carrot each.
Big veg shop planned for first thing tomorrow to bring them bistro salad, coriander, broccolli, beansprouts and 3 more peppers!

All we’ve really got is iceberg lettuce, and everybody knows that is a big
Nope!

 

[PigglePuggle]

Yuck I never buy iceberg, little gem keeps almost a week though and we always have cucumbers and carrots in for the giant snails!

Mine would easily eat all that pepper.
Red pepper is a favourite but since Priscilla and Phoebe arrived Jemimah has now realised that actually she does like green pepper too. She doesn’t know why I thought she didn’t
