Veg for young piggies?

[GuineaPigg]

My two piggies are around 5 weeks old and currently have veg every other day. I've tried them with carrot, cabbage and kale which they love! What other veggies can I introduce them to? Is cucumber ok and what do your piggies like?

Thanks.

Hi! I'm looking forward to seeing pics of your littl'uns!

Always introduce only one veg at a time, but ideally, they can have a mix of five different veg/fruit once or twice daily about 50g per pig per day (which is about 1 bowlful per pig per day).

Here is a list of what they can eat: http://www.theguineapigforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=42

Here is some basic info which you might find very useful:

I hope I'm not overdosing them on vitamin C. I didn't realise. Their muesli has added vitamins, can I still feed them the cabbage, kale and carrot? I've fed them the 3 veggies at the same time all mixed together.

No, you're not.
