Daily diet

Hi
I have been trying to find some leafy greens that is safe to feed my 2 Guinea pigs daily and wondered if someone could help. I have been giving them little gem lettuce and sometimes kale and added a mix of cucumber and peppers and on the occasion carrots and baby corn but wondered what is safe to be given every day.

These two guides below should help you

Daily My piggies get : lettuce, cucumber, pepper, coriander. I then add in something else if I’ve got it but otherwise it’ll be the basic daily menu.
Kale, spinach, and any other high calcium veg needs to be kept limited. Carrots are high sugar and together with the baby corn should be regarded as an occasional treat.

Keep pellets strictly limited to one tablespoon per day and filter their drinking water as these two measures help reduce the amount of calcium they take in. While you can’t and shouldn’t completely cut out calcium, the majority come from pellets and drinking water particularly if you live in a hard water area
