Just wondering which veggies they can eat, and how often? Which ones can you feed everyday? Thanks for your help!
 
Hey,

I've got six piggies and this is what seems to work for my lot.

In the morning they get a slice of bell pepper and then either curly kale, a handful of romaine lettuce or a herb like coriander or parsley between two.

In the evening they get a chunk of cucumber with either celery or carrots...

:)

Guinea pigs can eat lots of different types of fruits and veggies I always love experimenting and seeing what treats are there favorites! 'I usually feed a little mixture of different veggies twice a day so like carrots,cucumber,tomato or lettuce. You should only give guinea pigs fruits every once in a while as there a bit more high in sugar so lets say if you wanted to give your pig a bit of an apple one day you wouldn't give him/her one tomorrow so fruits are just a treat and shouldn't be given daily like a veggie

on my blog I have a post talking about what you can feed a guinea pig I think it will be helpful for you I'll leave the link down below
hope it helps!

Guinea pigs should get 1 cup of veggies per pig per day... But i don't really get caught up in measure ments as I feed my piggies a full small dessert bowl in the morning and at bedtime :)
 
I try and experiment with different vegetables to see what they like. Mine are very keen on tomatoes and anything dark green and leafy, particularly spinach. They'll eat cucumber, celery and carrots too and occasionally I'll give them apple. They can be quite fussy at times though, my male pig pretty much ignores any carrot you give him!
They get perhaps a large handful each each evening :)
