What would you give your piggys for a treat? Want to give my lot something special but not sure whats special to a guinea pig!

Recently Ive been giving them baby cucumber and corn on the cob. I havent tried peppers yet but they dont seem very special. They like the occasional slice of watermelon.

There are lots of dandelions in the garden, but even they dont seem special and Ive never given them those before, so not sure about them.
 
Mine go crazy for red peppers plus they're high in Vit C.

They also LOVE corriander drool x
 
I tend to give mine fruits or herbs as a treat. Not too much though. Usually one or two blueberries a day or a strawberry between the six of them, maybe a couple of sprigs of parsley:)). Peas are also a favourite.
As mentioned before, they go mad for dandelions too :))
 
Flaked peas, or dried herb mixes are an occasional treat.

Dandelion and couch grass from the borders. A broken (dethorned) rose stem with leaves on or a rose bloom to nibble on and take apart. Apple twigs and leaves if you have access. Dried apple leaves - piggies love dried stuff, but it is higher in calcium than fresh food, so you have to be careful about how much you give.

Little bits of cucumber or fruit. Melon and melon rinds during a heat wave.
 
Putt says parsley. parsley. parsley
 
This may seem an ignorant question but I'm going to ask anyway...

Would dried fruit be bad? Like raisins? Or would these be too sugary?
