What veggies have you given him?
As long as he's eating grass and hay and some veg he'll be fine.
 
Erm he gets a few carrots. Cauliflower leaves bit of salad cucumber. Dandelions.raspberry leaves.celery but of Apple some pear

Not all on the same day lol maybe I need to jazz it up a bit
 
Mine aren't that interested in veg when they have plenty of grass. You say 'a few carrots'. I'm not sure what you mean by that, and I apologise if I'm misunderstanding you, but the suggestion is that that is quite a lot of veg. Could be he's getting too much, so not interested? My son recently gave my piggies a full bowl of nuggets (against my guidance :hb:), but they only ate about half, as it was too much, so just wondering if that's what the problem is. Here's a thread about diet which might help. Recommendations For A Balanced General Guinea Pig Diet
 
Mine get for example, small piece of carrot each, cucumber, celery, red pepper, kale or sweetheart cabbage but not on the same day due to high calcium etc, occasional piece of apple or other fruit such as banana or pear or a strawberry maybe 2-3 times a week, a variety of herbs - mint, sage, oregano etc - just a few sprigs, They all have their likes and dislikes! Some shout for pepper others have to have cucumber first! Along with fresh grass, dandelions clover and chickweed plus occasional birch or beech leaves!

He has like two small prices of carrots every few days so it's not a lot and not often. He is eating his veg bit will then leave some of it

I'm thinking I need to jazz it up. He is still eating really well just noted that he has bothered about his veggies so leaving bits
