Hello all,

I'm in need of some advice, I have been wracking my brains on our piggies diet! There is so much conflicting advice out there it's hard to know if I'm doing the right thing. I've attached a picture below of the plate they will have scattered in their environment today (I've taken the carrots out BC they are super high in sugar and feel like a treat (I've owned rabbit in the past)) I've also included a notebook I am keeping for their food and the list I've compiled (with lots of help from guinea pig people on websites) I'm just wondering if it looks okay?

Thank you in advance 😊

Mine get the four safe daily veg of coriander, lettuce, cucumber and bell pepper - that’s it as routine.
They may get something else added if I’ve got it in the fridge - a piece of broccoli, slither of spring greens, a different herb - but there is no routine to it, it is literally if I’ve got it.

In your third pic - as you’re giving carrot on Tuesday I personally would not give strawberries on Saturday. I would stick to one sweet item per week only (I actually don’t give fruit or carrot routinely because I’m mean! - they will get a slice of apple once in summer and some carrot peelings when I’m prepping Christmas dinner. For my piggies a treat is their pellets which they only get twice a week or a different type of herb).
