Which is better vegetables or fruit for a guinea pig?

Answer 1

Guinea pigs should be fed more vegetables than fruits in their lifetime however, that does not mean fruits are less important. Fruits contain higher concentrated amounts of vitamins/nutrients than do vegetables therefore, a guinea pig would not have to eat as many fruit as vegetables to get the same amount of nutrition. In conclusion Guinea pigs should be fed both fruits and vegetables, and both should be considered equally important.

Answer 2

You should give guinea pigs a cup of fresh vegetables each day. These are beneficial as they provide vitamin C as well as other vitamins and minerals to keep them healthy. Some vegetables can help their teeth. Fruit should only be kept as a treat as it is high in sugar. Guinea pigs are prone to obesity so when you do give fruit, only give it in a small amount (Eg a thin slice of apple or a single strawberry once a week.)
