I have been feeding my 2 3months guinea pig with lots of hay(alfafa and timothy)

veg: parsley, yellow pepper, baby tomato, spinach and their fav, cucumber.



Any other recommendations? and for hay should i get other variety? rolleyes
 
I think you are doing just fine. Stay on alfafa hay for now until they grow older as alfafa hay is ideal for pregnant guinea pigs and youngsters. Your piggies sound very healthy to me!
 
dont feed too much parsley or spinach as its very high in calcium and they'd be getting plenty of that from the alfafa

hahah but they love parsley alot!

but my female pig seems to be very shy to eat when i'm around, keep hiding :(
 
Is your female guinea pig the leader of the group? If not, then why don't you feed your guinea pigs who don't hide and maybe the female would get a bit more confident and eat from your hand. Also, speak to her in a soft voice and encourage her to come.
