Guinea pigs are allowed to eat many vegetables but when it comes to fruit you really need to know what to give them. As a general rule, don't feed any nightshades (e.g. potatoes, tomatoes), nothing growing from bulbs (e.g. lilies, tulips). While this is not a safe rule to rely upon, it's a good rule-of-thumb.
With the exception of the above, Guinea Pigs normally know perfectly well what they can eat and what they like to eat. In fact, Guinea Pigs can be quite selective, with pronounced preferences and dislikes.
Fruit and vegetables like apples, cucumbers, grapes and peaches are not generally part of a natural Guinea Pig diet though, so these should be given in moderation only. Some Guinea Pigs will love some fruits and veg, mainly for their juiciness and sugar content. However, the softness and the high sugar content makes them unhealthy, possibly causing obesity, gum disease and overgrowth of teeth.
