Best Answer

here are some things they can eat! :

Red Pepper (or green/yellow pepper. Red has the highest vitamin C concentration)

  • Carrots - both the root and the green tops are perfectly safe for your guinea pig.
  • Apples - just make sure they don't have any seeds.
  • Oranges
  • Leafy greens like red lettuce, romaine, or parsley (be sure to feed leafy vegetables in moderation to avoid diarrhea)
  • Cucumbers
  • Broccoli (in moderation since it can be gassy and cause a gas pain)
  • Green beans
  • Grapes
  • Bananas
  • Dandelion Greens
  • strawberries
Here are the things your guinea pig CANNOT eat! :
  • Iceberg lettuce
  • Any type of cabbage
  • Cauliflower
  • Potato peelings
  • Raw beans (this doesn't mean green beans. This means things like raw, hard kidney beans, split peas, pinto beans, etc.)
  • Shelled nuts or seeds, particularly things like sunflower seeds or 'bird seed' type mixes.
  • Rhubarb
  • Meat or fish
  • Dairy Products - while many stores will offer 'yogurt drops' and other 'treats', dairy is not healthy to feed your guinea pig and can actually cause problems. Feed natural treats like veggies instead of store brand treats. It's less expensive and your piggie will be much happier.
  • Chocolate or other caffeine-containing products.
  • Alcohol
  • Cookies/bread*

    *you can feed a small piece of cereal like a cheerio from time to time as a treat, but they will likely not even like it, so it's best to just avoid this altogether!

  • hamster food, gerbil food, rabbit food, or any other non-guinea pig food. Often these contain seeds, which are a big no-no, but they also have a different balance of vitamins and minerals which aren't suited for a guinea pig's dietary needs.
  • corn kernels or popcorn
  • sugary foods like donuts, candy, or soda
  • Ice cream.
  • Any processed or fried foods that you would eat, including potato chips/nachos or french fries.
  • Cheese
  • anything spicy. jalapeno peppers, anything with cinnamon, etc. Even with regular bell peppers (which guinea pigs LOVE), be sure to get rid of all of the seeds.
Also NO they CANNOT eat avocado
No, the light green cream inside the avacado will slow down their intestines and the skin is highly poisonous. The seed is although big but is a chocking hazard.
