Is the food that I give my guinea pig okay, or should I change it?

I have two female pigs who are a little over a year. I provide them with constant water and hay. Then I give them 1/4 cup of pellets twice a day. Once a day I give them veggies. I usually give them a few slices of green red peppers daily and a few slices of cucumbers. Then I give them carrots every few days. And I give them strawberries every once and a while as a treat. I’m interested to know if there’s anything else good I could be feeding them, or that I should stop feeding them? Thanks!
 
That’s seems like your piggys have a great diet! It is not necessary for you to add anything else but here are some other good foods for piggys-
Lettuce ( I recommend little gem)
Parsley and coriander

Broccoli ( an essential in my opinion! High in calcium)

Mine love all of the above plus chicory, dill, celery, chard, romaine and butterhead lettuce.
They love tomatoes which is an occasional treat
 
Finn and Lara get romaine lettuce, cilantro, parsley, basil, and mint. I alternate romaine lettuce with baby spring lettuce.
Half of a baby carrots are given everyday, but fruits are given around 3 times a week.
