Opinion 1:

Yes. You can not feed a guinea pig cabbage and you have to feed carrots in moderation. Do NOT feed daily. Carrots are high in sugar and can cause kidney and bladder stones in guinea pigs.

Opinion 2:

There is no problem with feeding guinea pigs cabbage, as they will only eat as much as is good for them. Guinea pigs will not over-eat carrots, cabbage or any other vegetable. Simply remove the uneaten food each day so it is not left to rot.

The only thing one should avoid is potato peelings. Also, if you are feeding your guinea pig pumpkin, avoid leaving the seeds in it, as these seeds can catch in their front teeth.

Yes guinea pigs need veggies every day. If they dont have veggies every day they can get sick from lack of vitamin C. Some guinea pigs don't eat stuff like bell peppers, so if they arent getting enough vitamin C then you will have to buy vitamin drops to put in their water. Just be careful with this, sometimes guinea pigs wont drink the water because of the bad smell of the drops you put in there. good luck.

Because like all herbivores, their digestive system is adapted to digest plant matter rather than meat.
