Food INtake = Fat? Help

[bpdfs]

Here is what we give ours,

Cucumber
Carrots
Lettuce,
outside Grass
Apples

I normally feed him a lil of each in AM and PM..

Basicaly what I'm asking is it seems he has "gained" a lil weight and was wondering if any of the above items are high in fat and I should cut out or cut down?

He just seems to always want to eat and begs and begs for food..

he has a constant supply of the "normal" guinea pig food in there as well...

Thanks

What age is he? I would have unlimited dry food until he's 6-9 months old, but if he's grown up then I'd just give a small amount.

I'd only give carrot and apple as a treat aswell as they're quite high in sugar.

Lettuce and grass are good for them to have lots of. (Well not lots of iceberg lettuce as it can upset their tummies if they have too much.)

He might just be naturally fat, like most guinea pigs, but I would try to cut down on the carrots and apple
