What dose a guinea pig eat?

Answer 1

You should provide a good hay at all times, a bowl full of dry feed a day and fresh veggies at least a couple of times a week, preferably every day.

http://www.rodentswithattitude.co.uk/ has a good guide to what veggies to feed your pet Guineapig.

Answer 2

There is a great range of fruit and vegetables that guinea pigs can eat. Some fruit and vegetables that most guinea pigs like are:

Cucumber, carrot, capsicum (any colour), spinach, tomato, kale, lettuce (only certain types though, no iceberg lettuce), apple, strawberry (these are very sweet!), banana and HEAPS MORE.

Remember, don't give your guinea pigs onions, spices, meat, citrus fruits, dog/cat food and other human foods.

Answer 3

Everyday you should give them about 1/4 cup of the guinea pig food from pet stores twice a day, and chop up fruits and veggies for them like spinach, lettuce, carrots, apples, watermelon, banana, celery, mango, and Oranges (without peel). They can pretty much have all fruits and veggies except grapes because they are toxic, and no cooked veggies they have to be raw. You can pretty much feed them that throughout the day, because they love to snack on that. Just make sure everyday you give them guinea pig food with fruits and veggies.

Answer 4

Guinea pigs eat tough fresh and dried grass and foliage. Lots of it: hey and tough grass, raspberry and blackberry leaves, banana leaves, dandelions, herbs such as oregano, rosemary and mint are popular and perfectly suitable.

Supplements include red peppers, cucumbers and apples, but all fruit and vegetable should be fed in very small portions only: the benefit of feeding these is the additional vitamin supply, but the high sugar content and soft nature of these foods is not suitable for guinea pigs.

Pet shops will sell hey pellets enriched with vitamins. Those should be fed in order to supply sufficient vitamins and minerals, but plenty of fresh tough grass, foliage and hey should make the majority of their food.
