I read the thread http://www.theguineapigforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=42 and took alot from it.

Although ive been abit wary of what I feed my two boys veg wise - I try to mix it up day to day...
Daily I pick 3 of the following items for thier veg bowl...always with 1 large or two small savoy cabbage leafs torn up or handful of grass and/or dandelion leaves washed then I add...
4 chunky slices of red or green pepper (2 each)
2 slices of apple (1 each)
4 discs of carrot (2 each)
2 grapes (1 each)
2 Broccoli tree
2 Cauliflower tree
Celery leaves
Spinach leaf x 1 each

Today for instance they had 1 torn cabbage leaf, 2 grapes, celery leafs, 4 carrot discs and 4 bits of red pepper.
They are happy enough and very healthy I just dont want to under or over feed them!
Does this sound enough?
They basically have a bowl of veg and a large bowl of pellets mixed with museli (Tesco). Fresh water and ofcourse lots of hay to nibble as I fill the rack and bell ball daily.
 
This is of great help. I was wondering how much I should be giving them as they seem to want to eat all the time. Well one of my girls does, as she is getting tubby. So this gives me a guide as to how much to feed her now she is indoors more and not having free range to grass.:)
 
Not sure, maybe i am giving mine too much. They tend to have a full bowl of fresh veg morning and evening plus unlimited hay and pellets.
