Guinea Pig's Diet

[GingerbreadEddy]

my guinea pigs seem to enjoy most vegetables that I give them,
but they won't touch capsicum or zucchini.
is this normal or are they just fussy?

This is completely normal, my two boys won't touch or even glance at zucchini. I try offering it to them multiple times, but they always turn away from it. I find that most piggies don't like zucchini, so don't worry, zucchinis just not a popular veg among the guineas.

Mine won't eat zucchini and bell pepper just because they don't like it.

Ok!
Thanks

Mine eat peppers (capsicum) but not courgette (zucchini). Sometimes they like cauliflower leaves, other times they think it's evil and won't touch it. They hate tomatoes. They love kale, chicory, pak choi, carrots, coriander (cilantro), broccoli (only the stalks, not the florets), and some other things - but they have recently decided they don't like baby sweetcorn any more! They currently hate spring greens too. Chances are in a few weeks they will change their minds again!

I gather from other people on the forum that mine are fairly average pigs in this respect.
