Just sharing some of the meals my oinkers get.
Pellet staple, hay, baby carrot treats, apple slices treats, corn stalk and husks, mixed grasses and weeds.

Some of the greens are;
Dandelion, Crabgrass, Broad & narrow Plantain, Corn, most lawn grasses, Sow Thistle[Dandelion look-a-like].

Do not feed Johnson-grass or any ornamental grasses!

Aww nice to see your heard. Do they have any hidey houses to sleep in?
 
They fight viciously over huts, so they have none.

They need some place to hide, Guinea Pigs are natural prey animals and need places to hide. Could you not just get several and put them down, also when you say fighting viciously do you mean literally?
 
Are they all girls? They have lovely shiny coats :)

If they fight over hidies you could drape some towels over each end to give them a little dark corner to go to if they want. I am not a big fan of hidies either, mine have hammocks slung over each corner end effectively a 2 x 1 C & C space which they sleep under or on top, mine will also plop down in the open as well :))

Yes, they will bite, tear ear bits out, rip hair out. They do not need hide outs, there's nothing here that bothers them and they don't even spook anymore when we walk by. If anything, they harass us all the time for food.
Doesn't matter how many boxes are in there, they put up territories and it becomes a battlefield. No pig can walk near another pig's box to get food or water.

Anything they can claim as their own, they will fight over. And the fighting lasts 6-12 days after the boxes are removed. The open top hut works because they can easily jump out the top if a dominant pig comes by to shoo them out.
 
So many beautiful piggies drool thank you for sharing :))
