I guess Rosey and Mona have learned their routine. Get up its breakfast come home from work its pellets. They are wheekimg as I walk in the door. They also wheek for veggies about our supper time. I fix them a cup per pig in the morning. Is a handful in the eveningg to much?
 
I myself just do a cup of veggies each piggie in the morning and then a baby carrot at night and the rest of the time pellets ..and hay ...depernds on age with pellets if under 6 mo unlimited over 6 mo about a 1/8 of a cup
 
That seems about right with the amount for 2 young piggies.You could divide the amount into 2 feeds-one cup between them in the morning and one later in the day.As long as they have unlimited hay and afew pellets they will be fine during the day.
 
Here is a thread well worth having a read of Recommendations For A Balanced General Guinea Pig Diet

The recommended ratio of food groups:
- ca. 80% hay
- 10-15% veg and fresh herbs (ca. 1 cupful / 50g / nearly 2oz)
- 5-10% pellets (amount depending on the age)
- plenty of fresh water daily

Important is unlimited hay in piggies diet.

We feed ours this roughly
Morning:
Cucumber
Celery
1/6th of Red/Green/Yellow Bell Pepper (de-seeded)

Evening:
Cucumber
Two Little Gem Lettuce leaves or 10 sprigs Coriander. Twice a week we will swap in cabbage or parsley

We also add in to the above diet carrot, sweet potato, celery leaves and a few other things occasionally

Have a search through this section of the forum for lots of different feeding regimes
