Guina pig don't eat vegetables

[Tidus]

Hello,
My guinea pig is 1+ month and i try to put fresh vegetables on diet. I purchased oxbow junior for dry food and oxbow hay for grass. I put carrot and eats some. It doesn't eat letuce, tomato and chicory. What can i do to start eating some vegetables?

Guinea pigs have to get used to new veggies or they won’t eat them. Mix a tiny bit with the veggies he/she likes. My first guinea pig loved lettuce at first sight, and my new one had to get used to it. Every guinea pig is different!

Please, please, please consider getting your little piggy a companion! I'd reccommend reading this guide: Companionship

Welcome.
Give him some time then he will come around to eating veggies, herbs, fruits, and etc. Good luck.

Gia I will later. Now i am a new owner and don't have money and a proper cage to have 2 piggies. I will make one and then i will adopt another one too. I believe at first i must learn some things.

A companion will teach the little one what to eat, you’ll see a massive difference.

Yes, when my Colt didn’t have a companion, he was very picky.

Thank you. I will try to make a bigger cage and adopt 1 more, but i want to learn this too to eat vegetables.
What kind of toys can i make/buy? Here most of pet shop toys are for hamsters. Don't know if they are acceptable for piggies!

My Finn and Lara really like stuffed animals so they both have several stuffed animals made for pets. Finn and Lara cuddle with them, sleep with them, and snuggle with them. I wash these toys constantly.
I also have chew toys for them such as wooden balls and wooden blocks.
Mine also like balls, so I give them small golf ball size plastic balls.
They also have edible tunnel.

They have many toys to play with throughout the day because Finn and Lara live in separate cages, so I have given them plenty of toys. Despite them being in the same room, they have no physical contact with each other.
