Fussy guinea pig

[Guineapiglady27]

So I've had my guinea pig for 3 years she has always loved red bell peppers but now has suddenly stopped eating them I've tried her with green and yellow bell peppers she doesn't eat them. She is eating her hay and pellets. She still eats cucumber, carrots,broccoli,apple and banana. What else can I give her to replace the pepper.

Lettuce and coriander are good additions to the diet. Coriander containing a lot of vit c so will be good in place of the pepper.
Lettuce, cucumber, pepper and coriander all being safe daily veggies

Make sure you don’t feed carrots and fruit regularly. They are too high in sugar to feature in the diet, and can be left out entirely. They are considered as very occasional treats only and no more than one small amount of one of them and no more than once a week

She only gets carrot and fruit has a treat like once a week

Keep your eye on their weight. I’ve got a piggy at the moment who has a tooth root abscess and the first thing I noticed that was unusual was he started to leave his pepper. He also dropped 100g in one week! I hope your piggy is just going off pepper.

Hopefully it is just a fussy moment.
Piggies can be funny in loving a veggie one day but the next treating it like poison!
