Feeding My Babies.

Hello, we got 3 baby girl guinea pigs a few days ago, they're 6 weeks old, I just want to check if what we're giving them is ok, or if we should change anything. They'very got lots of fresh hay all the time and water, although we'very not seen them drink from the bottle yet. We've got harringtons optimum guinea pig food, which it says give 15-30g twice a day per gp's, so I gave 45g's is twice a day, but they've never finished it. We also give fresh veg, a mugfull morn and eve between them, which they gobble down, a mix of cos lettuce, carrot, beetroot, cabbage, orange peppers and courgettes, (which they didn't like much).
Does that sound about right, anything else we should give because they're babies?

Is the hay you're giving them alfalfa? If it's not, you may want to give them a little bit of parsley every day. They need extra calcium until they're 6 months old.
