Good Diet Plan?

[KG928]

Hi! I have been doing some research on what guinea pigs can have and guinea pig diets. (I have 2) and I have come up with one I think will work, but I could use advice, feedback, and assistance!

The weekly diet plan is as follows:


Monday:
Morning:

→ 1 slice of pepper
→ 2 baby carrots

Afternoon:
→ 1 slice pepper
→ ½ cup lettuce mix
→ 1 slice celery
→ 4 slices of zucchini / cucumber
Tuesday:
Morning:

→ 1 slice of pepper
→ 1 slice celery

Evening:
→ 1 slice pepper
→ ½ cup lettuce mix
→ 1-2 slices celery
→ 4 slices of zucchini / cucumber

Wednesday:
Morning:

→ 1 slice of pepper
→ 1 slice celery

Evening:
→ 1 slice pepper
→ ½ cup lettuce mix
→ 1-2 slices celery
→ 4 slices of zucchini / cucumber
*Fruit Day*
Thursday:
Morning:

→ 1 slice of pepper
→ 1 slice celery

Evening:
→ 1 slice pepper
→ ½ cup lettuce mix
→ 1-2 slices celery
→ 4 slices of zucchini / cucumber

Friday:
Morning:

→ 1 slice of pepper
→ 2 baby carrots

Afternoon:
→ 1 slice pepper
→ ½ cup lettuce mix
→ 1 slice celery
→ 4 slices of zucchini / cucumber

Saturday/ Sunday:

Morning:

→ 1 slice celery

Evening:

Thanks in advance!

it looks good but I wouldn’t give carrots twice a week and give fruit as well. They are high in sugar and should only be once per week. If you’re going to give them fruit in the week, then don’t give carrots at all that week or vice versa. Mine are lucky if they get carrot once a month and they never have fruit.

Mine get their veg once a day as i just find it much easier to balance and not end up overfeeding veg. They get their pellet portion in the morning and the veg in the evening (hay constantly available and refreshed multiple times a day). mine have lettuce (various varieties usually), cucumber, coriander and peppers. I’ll sometimes add in a green bean or something else leafy but not always.

I would do only one Alice of pepper, cucumber and celery a day. And maybe swap the celery for coriander (a sprig a day) - a good source of vitamin c. And a green bean.

Mine get a lettuce leaf in the morning. Then dinner is pepper/coriander or both (always), cucumber slice, a green bean if I have them in and celery maybe...2 times a week max. They rarely get any fruit or veg now - even less than they did before.
