How much fruit and vegetable should I feed my two guinea pigs a day?

Answer 1

Copied from http://theguineapigrescue.com/care.htm

There's nothing quite like the sheer joy you'll see on your guinea pig's face when you bring them their daily fresh veggies! View our comprehensive link at the top of the page for a complete vegetable list, but here are a few of our favorites:

* In the morning, one tomato wedge and one baby carrot per guinea pig.

* In the evening, approximately 12 hours after your first feeding, feed a mix of about three veggies, which could include Romaine or Spring Mix lettuces, kale, celery (with all strings removed!), parsley, cilantro, cantaloupe, watermelon, cucumber, collard greens, green or red bell pepper (not the hot, spicy peppers), apple slices.

* Do not feed too many fruits that are high in sugar. They seem to like veggies the most anyway!

* Select vegetables that are high in vitamin C, as they do not make this on their own and need it from an outside food source, just like humans. Healthy piggies need 10 mg / kg of vitamin C per day, which, if not supplied in their food diet, must be supplemented with crushed vitamin C tablets for animals, sprinkled most easily on the cut side of their morning tomato every other day. Vitamin C added to the water is NOT the best source.

Answer 2

My guinea pigs love lettuce!

And they love grapes but don't feed them grapes too much cause that is really sweet and that's why they like it so much! Also try celery and spinach. My guinea pigs fav. kind of lettuce is kale. It is gone in about three minutes! I hoped this helped!

And also, you can feed them brocolli. But not too often because it gives them gas!

Its true!

One more thing, make sure to wash these fruits and veggies before feeding them to your guinea pig because it might have pesticide sprayed on it!

Answer 3

They can have a lot of food in one day.

Guinea pigs should have 3 different foods a day (not including dry food)

Answer 4
