Thank you I had looked at that guide the other day but didn't realise about the carrots. Today was there first taste of pear.

Tonight I just gave celery one small round lettuce leaf not iceberg and two slice of cucumber.
 
We have two guinea pigs new to our home as of xmas, the male is great, eating great anything he gets he devours. . The female is very picky... she eats all the things in the with the pellet food but not the pellets, she takes maybe a bite of any fruit/veggie she gets. . But eating Timothy hay. ... she drinking ok, poopig and peeing...petco said not to worry. It does not look like she gained any weight or increase in size since we got her. Any hints on what would be up her alley. She mostly likes apples but again she won't eat much. I'm worried. . But every one says as long as not acting sick should be ok..
 
The best way to gauge how they are doing is regular, weekly, weighing.
Sometimes a pig may look like they don't eat much, but as long as they are steadily gaining weight (for young pigs), or holding a reasonable weight (mature adults) you will know they are ok.

For example we weigh weekly, and noticed one of our guinea pigs has lots quite a lot of weight.
On closer examination it turned out she had snapped both of her top front teeth off, and was struggling to eat.
If we didn't weigh regularly she would have lost a lot more weight before we noticed.
 
I think I agree with Swissgreys a lot of sugary food. I normally give fruit once a week or if I give it more often I do one slither cut in half, then half of it to each piggy. I'm tight. Lol
