I just got my piggies a couple of days ago and was doing a lot of research on what veggies I can feed them daily I was giving them kale bell pepper and a little carrot but I found out kale is bad for everyday. What veggies can I give them daily
 
Hello! Welcome to the forum. be lovely to see some photos of your piggies :)

The recommended ratio of food groups:
- ca. 80% hay
- 10-15% veg and fresh herbs (ca. 1 cupful / 50g / nearly 2oz)
- 5-10% pellets (amount depending on the age)
- plenty of fresh water daily


When it comes to hay, feed a good meadow hay - unlimited. We then also feed Timothy and orchard grass to mix things up for them and keep their interest

Change pellets and hay daily from the cage, we top our hay up twice a day and throw the old stuff out as they wee in it.

We feed ours this roughly
Morning:
Cucumber
Celery
1/6th of Red/Green/Yellow Bell Pepper (de-seeded)

Evening:
Cucumber
Two Little Gem Lettuce leaves or 10 sprigs Coriander or Parsley or Cabbage ( of some type)

We also add in to the above diet carrot, sweet potato, celery leaves and a few other things occasionally

Have a read of this guide here Recommendations For A Balanced General Guinea Pig Diet

Kale is great every other week I would say

Have a read of the threads in the food section for idea on peoples pigs diet
 
Thank you I top up there hay about twice a day and give them fresh water everyday aswell there a bit shy and skittish so I’m trying not to scare them but when they get comfortable I’ll have lots of pictures of them :)
