I have been doing a little bit of research before I get my two guinea pigs and was hoping you guys could look over this food list I have composed. I have visited the portion recommendation on this forum but still had a little questions. If you have any concerns about my list or anything you think I should add please let me know. Thankyou :):)

Couple of times a week per pig:
  • A carrot slice
  • Broccoli branches
Daily food per pig :
  • 1/8 slice of green bell pepper
  • 2 sprigs of cilantro
  • 1 leaf of green leaf lettuce
  • Constant timothy hay (alfalfa for pigs younger than 6 months)
  • 1/8 cup of pellets
 
Yes, good list, except for the alfalfa.
Even under 6 months they need unlimited Timothy hay. At most one handful of alfalfa daily for under 6 months, but that's in addition to Timothy hay, it doesn't replace it. It's also not strictly necessary so if you can't find alfalfa or only give it every few days that's also fine.
 
Personally I would give a little more lettuce, or add in a slice of cucumber and or a green bean daily.
Daily veg quantity should be 1 cupful or 50g per pig
