Is this a good diet?

[TheKayler]

Just wanna make sure I’m feeding what I’m suppose to when I’m suppose to. So is this a good diet? In the morning my boy piggies will get 1/8 cup of pellets per pig (so 1/4 cup in total). They will also get hay in there hay racks and hay ball. When I come home from school at around 3:30 they will get refilled on hay, and sometimes a little snack. At night they will a salad. It would be about 1 cup per pig (so 2 cups in total). The salad will have romaine lettuce and green peppers everyday. The rest may vary depending on what I have. Sometimes they will get parsley, carrots, and or cucumber. I often add in a strawberry once a week. If you have any suggestions on anything else please let me know.
I will also fill up there hay whenever I see they need a refill. Thanks.

I also am starting to give them a small amount of lettuce in the morning mixed with there pellets.

I also want to buy and give them dandelion leaves when I get home from school.

I keep forgetting things to add. Anyway, they are a bit fat, so I don't want them to eat too much.

Here is the forum guide on diet:-
Long Term Balanced General And Special Needs Guinea Pig Diets

With piggies it is the heft you need to worry about more than the weight. If you can feel their ribs when you pick them up then they are a good weight. Obviously I don't mean a skin and bone jobbie! Here is the forum guide on weight for you:-

Hope these guides can reassure you.

I think the diet looks great - it sounds like you are doing great job with your piggies.

Looks like a good diet to me.
Piggies eat all the time and will explain to you - loudly- that they are starving minutes after polishing off a pile of food.
Be prepared as well - today’s favourite will be tomorrow’s detest. Mine have just decided they don’t like Pak Choi any more.
Have you tried red peppers as well as green?
I find that as forum members talk about what their piggies eat I try new things for mine.
You’re doing really well

I have tried red pepper. They eat it fine. I heard that red pepper has more sugar than green though so that’s why I feed green more often.
