I don't know about red basil but rosemary and sage are fine for them. Tried my 2 with sage but they didn't like it.

Here's the link to the guinea pig shopping list on here, I find it extremely helpful when trying to find new food for my girls:

I have never seen red basil, where did you get that from?

Pretty sure rosemary and sage wont be liked by your little ones, rosemary is too woody and sage is quite oniony!

Red Basil is fine and the piggies like it. Rosemary and sage are ok, too but my piggies are not keen on that at all. They prefer corriander, parsley and mint.
