Probably the best thing to feed your guinea pig is guinea pig food. Guinea pigs also like to eat any kinds of fruits or vegetables. They also like to nibble on grass sometimes too.

I have a guinea pig who just turned 1, and she loves to eat timothy hay and carrots. My guinea pig sometimes likes celery. You can try bannana but they dont really eat it.

The best food to feed a guinea pig is a food that has timothy and doesn't have a big selection of different pieces. The thing with selection is, guinea pigs will pick and choose what they do and don't want to eat, so they won't eat everything. Also, guinea pigs can't make their own vitamin C, so they need to eat veggies with lots of vitamin C. Broccoli, Oranges, and peppers have a lot of vitamin C.

They need an unlimited supply of timothy, hay fresh water green peppers, cucumbers,oranges,apples, and blueberries. They also need plain pellets with no dried fruit or hay bits in it.
Nuts, meats, and dairy. Do not even feed yogurt drops. They are very bad for piggies. And only feed carrots in moderation like only once a week or they can cause kidney and bladder stones.

They need a cup of lettuce daily and a half a cup of veggies daily. Some veggies are bell peppers (not spicy) cherry tomatoes, and cucumbers. Don't feed carrots more than once a week or they could cause kidney and bladder stones. Some lettuces are red leaf, green leaf, romaine, and sping mix lettuce. You can feed pellets if you prefer (i don't feed them pellets) but if you descide to feed them pellets use good brands like mazurie or oxbow pellets made from a timothy base. They also need an unlimited supply of timothy hay and fresh water in a water bottle. You can also give parsley with your lettuce. They can't eat ANY dairy producets even the yougurt drops that the petstores sell. No nuts, candy or meat.

The best brands of pellets are Kleeman's loft or Oxbow (alfalfa pellets are for pigs under 6 months, as alfalfa when given to older pigs can cause health problems- grass hay pellets are best for guinea pigs over 6 months). As for hay guinea pigs do best on grass hays like orchard grass, timothy hay, Bermuda grass, or other grass hays.
